Reality TV star Jodie Marsh has revealed that she is turning her back on modelling and trying her hand at novel-writing.

The star of Channel Four series The Games has already written her autobiography in four months, which she claims will be "100 times better than Jordan's because it's so well written".

She was in bullish mood when talking to the Sun, saying: "This is my chance to be taken as a serious writer. I am not a glamour model any more."

Now dressing up in smart suits rather than skimpy tops and skirts, Jodie is optimistic about her writing career, because "I always won best writer prizes at school".

She plans to write five novels once her autobiography has been published, and she promises they will be raunchier and more titillating than a Jackie Collins.

The budding author is reportedly dating Celebrity Big Brother contestant Kenzie, although the pair deny they are seeing each other.

But after reports circulated claiming that the 19-year-old was a regular visitor to the London studios where Jodie was filming for an adult channel, it appears the duo may not be being entirely honest.

Quite what the teenage Blazin' Squad member will make of his beau being a racy writer remains to be seen.
