Bizarre bodybuilder Jodie Marsh (PHOTOS)

She's had a well publicised struggle with her body image and has spoken openly about being bullied in the past.
But Jodie Marsh seems to have found her ideal shape after taking up body building to bulk up in ways other women would run a mile from.
Her tremendous toned physique has even landed her second bodybuilding TV series which sees the 33-year-old former glamour model compete stateside.

She certainly stands out from the crowd: Her flame red hair, barely there clothes, turbo tanned body and in-your-face tattoos guarantee you can't miss Jodie

Her first bodybuilding series aired on Discovery's DMAX channel in January this year and was such a success they've made a second show.
The follow-up series, aptly named Jodie Marsh - Brawn In The USA, will follow Essex girl Jodie as she competes across the pond.
Featuring in the series will be Britain's Got Talent contestants Twist and Pulse who provided choreography for Jodie's US takeover.

As well as dance supremos Twist and Pulse, Jodie revealed that Hollywood stars and big name bodybuilders will appear in the series.
For those clued up on  big name bodybuilders then Cutler, Wolfe, Coleman and Ferrigno are the muscles Jodie has said will be flexing their pecks on her show.

Jodie, who first found fame with a career as a glamour model, has recently tweeted how much happier she is being known for looking buff rather than for flashing her boobs.

She has recently said in reply to a fan on Twitter who commented on her new appearance:
'@sanspeur1976 thank you babe. That's cos I AM happy :-) hehe #lovinglife x x x x'

'I cannot describe how excited I am for everyone to see my new show. I'm so proud of what I've achieved & so grateful to all who helped me x'

Jovial Jodie jokes with her followers: She can't wait for her new series to be shown to the world

Last month, Jodie was pictured during an intense workout on Muscle Beach in California – an area packed with equipment for bodybuilders to pose with.
She told fans she had regained the eight-pack she sported last year when she entered her first professional bodybuilder’s competition.
