Jodie Marsh has split from her builder boyfriend Mark, three months after claiming he was her ‘first adult relationship after dating a string of con men’.
On Saturday, the former glamour model, 44, took to Instagram to share a gallery of images of herself in various modelling guises and hinted what went wrong in the romance.
She said: ‘I think this sums up why I’ll never find a life partner.
‘Me: “I want a lovely calm, happy, peaceful life, rescuing animals. I want to lay on the sofa and read books and listen to music.
‘I want to plant rose bushes in the garden and I’m actually quite boring. I need a man who understands that my life isn’t all glam and craziness.
Jodie Marsh, 44, has revealed she has split from her builder boyfriend Mark after claiming he was her ‘first adult relationship after dating a string of con men’
She shared a gallery of sexy images of herself, writing: ‘I think this sums up why I’ll never find a life partner… I need a man who understands that my life isn’t all glam and craziness’
‘Someone who wants to chill with me and realises that I can be quite boring but who enjoys the quiet times. I need a man who understands I live a simple life in the countryside”………’
This prompted a string of comments from her fans who asked her: ‘What has happened to Mark?’ and ‘What about builder guy?’
One fan then wrote: ‘You need a man who doesn’t know the ‘old’ you – who won’t expect what you were and love who you are now!
‘The ‘you’ you are now just enjoys both sides of life more peacefully and people don’t get that. They think the wild nights and modelling is all you are and that’s not the case….
‘Unfortunately men don’t always realise people mask / change / grow up and that’s their issue not yours! I still have men I worked with 20 years ago talk to me like I’m the same person and I wasn’t even ‘me’ back then so it’s exhausting dealing with them!’
And Jodie replied with a ‘hands in the air’ emoji.
Mark works as a builder at her animal sanctuary Fripps Farm and they went official with one another last June.
She told MailOnline back in December: ‘I’m finally in what I like to call an adult relationship which is you know, I’ve had a lot of ag with boyfriends.
Jodie appeared to confirm the news when she responded to a comment from one of her followers
She shared imagess from her glamour model past as she said that men need to understand that she has changed and she has a quiet side to her personality
She said before the split in December: ‘I’ve made bad choices in the past, but we all do when it’s matters of the heart’
‘I’ve not had a good time in the past with men. I’ve been targeted by con men who have pretended to be one thing and then, and then actually their true colours have shown and they’re not who they say they are at all.
‘But also I’ve made bad choices in the past, but we all do when it’s matters of the heart.’
‘Everyone at Fripps knows Mark as “Mark the builder” and we’re together all day long because he’s here building enclosures and fencing and fixing the maintenance, everything. And then of course, you know, we’re all here just caring for the animals.
‘We are being quite cool, like we haven’t said the L word [love] yet, but I think again that shows it’s I’m being adult about this.

‘We’re all working for the greater good of the animals. Actually, the animals come first above everything, above our relationship, above everything.
‘That’s what’s cool is actually there’s a team of us here and Mark’s part of that, that we all just work every day for the animals.’

The media personality announced the news of her split from Billy in May 2022, claiming that she’d discovered revealing photos from other women on his phone.
She wrote: ‘Billy and I have split up. Turns out he’s been cheating on me for the whole three years.
‘Sexting other girls and begging for naked photos – which he’s got by the bucketload.
‘This has been going on literally the whole three years we’ve been together.
‘He admitted to everything when I confronted him and I have screen shot ALL the evidence to prove it as I’m not going to have anything think anything other than the truth.
‘I gave him the world and it still wasn’t enough. Please allow me some space – I’m not even done grieving for my mum yet. This is really hard to comprehend as I truly thought I’d found my soulmate.’
