Jodie Marsh has shared images of two ‘aggressive, intimidating and nasty’ men with social media followers after finding then loitering outside her rural property on Saturday.
The former glamour model and lads mag pin-up says she confronted the strangers as they recorded video footage ‘through her windows’ and around the perimeters of her farm and animal sanctuary in Chelmsford, Essex.
Marsh, 46, previously the subject of reports suggesting she would be upping sticks from Fripps Farm after months of strained relations with nearby residents, later shared images of the two men alongside a lengthy caption with X followers.
She wrote: ‘WARNING these two “men” think it’s acceptable to film a woman who lives alone for nearly 2 hours. Today they filmed all round the outside of my house and through my windows and through my gates.
‘There was only me and 2 other women here. We asked them what they were doing and repeatedly asked them to stop but they wouldn’t stop and wouldn’t tell us what they were doing. They weren’t press or paparazzi.’ [sic]
Marsh says she eventually called the police, who ‘moved them on’ – but was still mystified as to why they were filming her property.

A spokesperson for Essex Police told MailOnline: ‘We were called to reports of two men behaving suspiciously close to an address in Lindsell at about 1.20pm on Saturday 18 January.
‘Officers attended the scene shortly after and spoke to the men who left the area, and the informant was updated.’
Jodie wrote in her post: ‘They seemed to know my neighbours (they were laughing and joking with them) but the only thing we got out of them was that they’d come from 125 miles away?!
‘They were aggressive and intimidating and nasty and seemed to be delighting in scaring me.
‘In NO ONE’S world is it ok for two men to be stalking and filming round the house of a woman who lives alone. This is terrifying, horrific and disturbing. Women are being murdered by men daily and we, as women, are always scared when confronted by stalkery or aggressive men.
‘We’re scared any time we have to go somewhere alone, we’re scared walking back to our cars at night alone. This behaviour HAS to stop. THIS IS NOT OK. Does anyone recognise these men?’
One follower later claimed they were connected to a business in Leicester responsible for providing exotic animals at parties, but withheld their names.
In December, Marsh hit back at claims she is selling her Essex animal sanctuary and insisted she is ‘happier than I’ve ever been’ – despite rocky relations with her neighbours.
The former glamour model was the subject of previous reports suggesting she would be upping sticks from Fripps Farm in Chelmsford after months of strained relations with nearby residents.
Marsh previously claimed she was ‘terrified’ to leave her home and ‘scared for her life’ because her neighbours had ‘stalked and harassed’ her – an allegation they refute.

At one point, she told MailOnline, Marsh was being investigated by Essex Police for indecent exposure after her neighbours reported she went topless outside her own home – but she insisted she was on private property.
Her relationship with her neighbours was so unpleasant that at one point she was seeking a Stalking Protection Order against five of her neighbours.
The former Page 3 girl told MailOnline earlier this year: ‘My neighbours are working together to ruin my life and stalk me but that police are not taking my complaints seriously.
‘Do I have to die by one of their hands before the police listen to me that I am scared and vulnerable?’
But despite the apparent animosity and feeling among neighbours in Lindall that the working class model ‘doesn’t really fit into the area’, Marsh is insistent she is going nowhere.
Neighbours have also insisted that Marsh has been the aggressor in their dispute.

She told The Telegraph: ‘There’s NO WAY I’m selling! In fact, I’m building more enclosures. I’m happier than I’ve ever been since setting up Fripps Farm.’
The model told the paper she has suffered ‘vile’ insults from locals and claims they have taken a dislike to her farm because of her career.
‘It was clearly about who I am, although they didn’t even know me,’ she adds.
Marsh knows there may be more to come, but she is adamant on not giving up on her beloved sanctuary just yet.
According to the farm’s website, there are more than 250 animals currently being looked after at Fripps Farm, an entire menagerie that covers everything from sheep and miniature Shetlands to goats, llamas, dogs, cats, owls and reptiles.
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Jodie Marsh and Essex Police for further comment.
