Jodie Marsh is no stranger to being in the public eye for her outlandish behaviour and barley-there outfits, but the former glamour girl has hit the headlines this week for entirely different reasons.

This week, Marsh debuted her new muscular look, following the news that she entered the Natural Physique Association Bodybuilding Championships.

The 32-year-old was spotted showing off her new physique after just eight weeks of training.

Talking about her new figure, Marsh said:

"This is the best IÂ’ve ever felt, and the best my body has ever felt too.

"In just 50 days I have gone from 25 per cent body fat to 10 per cent body fat, gained 8 pounds of muscle, and lost 20 pounds of fat. In 8 weeks I have achieved what normally takes 6 to 9 months."

The gruelling diet and exercise regime has seen Marsh drop from a size 10 to a size six.

Jodie revealed last year that she had started bodybuilding and was hoping to enter a competition.

The former Celebrity Big Brother contestant explained:

"I started training with a personal trainer called Tim Sharp last December in my local gym.

"At first, I just wanted to lose weight and tone up - I was soft all over. But within two weeks, I had definition in my stomach."

Marsh came fifth in the world-famous championships which are held in Sheffield.
