Inside Katie Price and Jodie Marsh’s decades-long toxic feud from sex and ‘many dads’ jibes to ‘sh***ed leftovers’ slur
THEY were two of the nation’s best-known 90s glamour models - but their fiery feud has lasted for decades.
Now Katie Price, 43, has reopened old wounds by branding her nemesis "the lowest of the low” in her new book.
The mum-of-five revealed in her autobiography that she was furious with Jodie Marsh, now 42, for pursuing her ex-boyfriend Scott Sullivan, who she was with from 2002 until 2004.
“Scott went to the lowest of the low and got with Jodie Marsh,” Katie wrote in Harvey and Me.
This is the latest in a number of swipes between the former models and it seems nothing is off the table as they have clashed over men, sex, fame and even horses.
As the war of words reignites, we look at how it started and their most infamous fallouts over the decades.
‘Threatened by me’
Jodie claimed their rivalry began shortly after she rose to fame as a glamour model and started appearing in lads’ mags.
“I think that when I got famous, she felt threatened by me,” she told Now! magazine in 2011.
“Before I came along, she was the only big name in glamour modelling."
The bodybuilder said she had “never known her to be pleasant” during their early encounters and nothing had changed in the years that followed.
Not horseplay
Away from modelling, the pair shared a love for horses but even that couldn't unite them.
In 2009, Jodie mocked Katie for taking part in dressage rather than showjumping.

“Trots around, that's all she does. She doesn't jump. She doesn't do f*** all. She just sits on it, poses and pouts,” Jodie told Zoo.
At the same time, Jodie bragged about her own skills on a horse after getting back on the saddle after 17 years.
She said: “It’s a beast, I cantered him, galloped him and got over proper jumps!”
Four years, Katie appeared to offer an olive branch after four ponies were mysteriously “dumped” in Jodie's front garden.
“This is madness!!! I've called the police…. If they need a home I'll keep them but who dumps ponies like that?” Jodie tweeted at the time.
Katie replied: “If you ever need help with saving horses I have 52 acres I can help as I'm sure you no (sic) I'm a horse lover too.”
‘Thick as s**t’ & sex snub
Jodie has regularly poked fun at the size of her rival's breasts - at one stage measuring 34FF - and claimed that was the only thing that made her famous.
But in one outburst she took aim at Katie's sex capabilities and said she wasn’t “good in bed”.

“She doesn't know what she's doing... She's as cold as ice, she's got hardly any friends and she's thick as s**t!" Jodie told Zoo.
“I think anyone who wants to be with Jordan is a bit weird in the first place."
‘Obsessed’ fan became husband
But that have found some common ground over the years.
Katie and Jodie have had romances with the same men on more than one occasion and made equally scathing comments against one another.
One of the most notable clashes was over Katie’s third husband Kieran Hayler, who she divorced this year and shares two children with.
But years before Katie walked down the aisle with him in 2013, Jodie claimed the groom flirted with her online.
“Kieran was obsessed with me,” Jodie told Heat magazine.
Jodie claims to have followed him back on social media only after friends begged her to “give him a chance”.
“There were a lot of people saying to me, ‘Oh, he really liked you Jodie…’" she explained.
“I felt a bit pressured to follow him back. I did, but only for a short time because his messages were incessant.
“I started to believe he was just one of these ‘party boys’ - boys who just wanted to get with someone to get famous.”
‘Different dads’ and nose like a 'builder's elbow'
In 2015, when Jodie was quizzed about her thoughts on Katie having another boob job she blasted her foe once again.
At first, she pretended not to know who her rival was before levelling a cutting blow.
“Who? Oh yeah… her. The one who’s famous for having loads of kids with different dads?” Jodie said.
“I don’t care about Katie Price! Why do I care about how big her boobs are?”
After the scathing remarks, Katie took to Twitter and launched a furious tirade branding Jodie “the most vile thing I’ve ever seen”.
“I don't know any celebrity or man who finds you attractive,” she continued.
Katie said the model’s nose was “like a builder’s elbow” and wrote: “[You] sh***ed all my leftovers and not one of them wanted you.
“You[‘re] no model [you] just look like a man in drag, maybe you and Alex Reid would suit!
“Remember the fiver I paid [you] for dancing for me ex ha!
“Wind your beak in and get back in your box you’ll never be me but keep trying.”
Years later, Katie still appeared to be upset by the snub and slammed Jodie in her 2017 autobiography, My Crazy Life.
She wrote: “Don’t knock mothers like me, there’s lots of us...
“Didn’t you go out with my exes’ names written over your body, marking them out of ten after you sh****d them, classy.”
‘Tell the truth’ attack
In 2017, Love Island star Chris Hughes and Katie were in the middle of an when Jodie intervened.
It followed the reality star sharing a screenshot of a WhatsApp message Katie sent to him, which in part read: “You know I like you.”
Chris denied responding to her but Katie tweeted back: “Omg I’m watching Liar I love it #51screenshots #allreplies #totalcontradiction #neverunderestimatethepricey.”
In response, he claimed she was “looking to get back” at him, called her “desperate” and told her to “stop sending threatening voice notes”.
Jodie retweeted Chris’ message and wrote: “We needed someone to tell the truth for years… Threatening to destroy his career? Evil...
“All we need now is for a load of others to have the balls to tell the truth about what certain people are REALLY like....”
Jodie then claimed she would “write a book” to expose “what really goes on in showbiz”.
‘Bond villain teeth’
Last year, it seemed the pair were back to their old tricks.
It followed Katie posting a snap of her teeth filed down to short stubs ahead of having new veneers fitted and Pricey mocked herself for having “Bond villain teeth”.
Later, a Twitter user wrote: “I remember when I were in school and the lads used to love @katieprice…
“And I used to say nahh she's trash and I said @Jodiemarsh were 10x better. Well who's got the last laugh now?”
Jodie responded to the tweet with a flurry of laughing emojis.
‘Lowest of the low’
In Katie’s new book, she branded Jodie the “lowest of the low” while discussing her break-up with Scott and how it led to meeting Peter Andre.
Though the book focuses on her relationship with Harvey and his life, the model still managed to sneak in a few digs at Jodie.

Katie branded Jodie a “nobody” - an insult she regularly used in the past and accused her foe of starting their feud to become more famous.
Jodie is yet to reply to these most recent comments but if the past is anything to go by their clashes won't be stopping any time soon.
