Reality television personality Jodie Marsh has been left heartbroken and in tears after a devastating fire at her animal sanctuary claimed the lives of two of her beloved animals.
Devastating Blaze at Fripps Farm
The fire broke out at Fripps Farm in Uttersford, Essex, which Marsh runs as a sanctuary for rescued creatures. In an emotional video shared online, a distraught Marsh revealed the tragic consequence of the blaze: the death of two marmosets she had been personally caring for.
She explained that she had been hand-rearing the small primates after their own mother had died, making the loss even more personal and painful. "I am broken beyond belief," Marsh stated, her voice cracking with emotion as she recounted the incident.
Emotional Aftermath and Future Plans
The former glamour model, who has dedicated her life to animal welfare in recent years, said the tragedy had left her utterly devastated. She emphasised the depth of her commitment, stating she had "given up everything" for her animals.
In the wake of the fire, Marsh made a startling announcement regarding her future. Through her tears, she declared her intention to leave the area, saying she would be moving "far, far away" from the farm. The incident, which occurred in early January 2026, has clearly had a profound impact on her.
A Sanctuary in Mourning
Fripps Farm is well-known to Marsh's followers as a haven for a variety of animals she has rescued. The loss of the two marmosets represents a deeply personal blow to the sanctuary's mission and to Marsh herself.
While the full details of the fire's cause are not yet public, the immediate aftermath has been one of profound grief. The community of supporters and animal lovers who follow Marsh's work have been offering messages of condolence and support following her heartbreaking announcement.
