The 41-year-old former glamour model has started making arrangements for her late mum Kristina Marsh’s farewell after she lost her battle with cancer last month and Jodie admits she is finding the process tough.
She wrote on Twitter: “We’ve been organising mum’s funeral all day. It’s so hard especially when I still can’t even believe she’s gone. God give me strength”
The former 'Celebrity Big Brother' contestant was left heartbroken after her mother unexpectedly passed away as Kristina’s treatment seemed to be working well.
She said: “We actually didn’t know it was coming as the last thing her consultant said was “if the treatment carries on working like this, well it’s almost gone, and I should be able to take her off the treatment in a couple of months” so we weren’t really expecting it. Broken!”
A number of fans sent their deepest sympathies to the star and shared their own stories of personal losses.
Jodie previously thanked all of her Twitter followers who had sent her condolences and admitted she would have been totally lost without the support and love of her boyfriend Billy Collins Nuttall.
She tweeted: "Thank you so so much everyone for your amazing and kind comments. I am so overwhelmed. I'd love to reply to every single one personally but I just can't. I am so broken and lost. Billy is taking care of me & he's amazing. And we're both taking care of my dad too."
She also thanked of all her friends who had "rallied round" to be there for her and her family in their hour of need.
In another Twitter post, she wrote: "I am so touched by all the love we've had from everyone. And I'm so grateful for my friends who have rallied round. My mum was the most beautiful soul in the world and was loved by so many people. She never made a single enemy in her whole life. She was incredible..."
