Jodie Marsh has broken her silence after Katie Price offered to collaborate with her on an OnlyFans photoshoot.
As rival glamour models in the Noughties, the pair were famed for their notorious slanging match but in recent years the pair have stayed away from on another.
That was until Katie, 46, extended an olive branch earlier this year, insisting she 'never had a problem' with Jodie, 45, and offering to shoot a racy shoot with her.
Since their Page 3 heyday, the models have followed very different paths, with Katie staying in the public eye owing to a string of scandals, while Jodie retreated from the limelight in order to open her animal sanctuary, Fripps Farm.
And speaking to MailOnline from her sanctuary, Jodie revealed she's decided to leave the past in the past as when told about Katie's offer, she simply mused: 'That's very... sweet.'

Pressed on whether she'd take Katie up on the offer, Jodie laughed: 'I'll bear it in mind!'
Jodie and Katie's feud was tabloid fodder for decades, and to this day Jodie insists she was in the right, declaring: 'Katie started it! She said I had saggy t*ts.
'All I did was retaliate and say "at least mine are real" that was it.
'She called me every name under the sun. She said that I had saggy t*ts. I had t*ts like spaniel's ears. I had a nose like a builder's elbow.
'All these comments came out and then stuck for years and years and years. And I was young, I was in my early twenties.
'It's hard when you're being abused every day of your life for your physical appearance, how I got through that is nuts.
'How do people think that's acceptable to be like that? I'd get people calling me "saggy t*ts" in the street. They'd read it in the paper and think it was ok to say it to my face.'
Despite this, Katie appeared ready to move on during an episode of her podcast in February, when the mother-of-five asked her fellow model to team up for an OnlyFans shoot together.
She admitted: 'I've never had a problem with her [Jodie] and I always say to people, we'd probably get on because we both love animals, horses.
'We've both been through the mill. I don't actually have a problem with her and never had and if she reached out.
'Imagine if me and her did an OnlyFans shoot, that would be one for the thing wouldn't it. I wouldn't rule that out, if Jodie wanted to do an OnlyFans shoot.'
Katie captioned the clip: 'Come on Jodie Marsh, what do you think?'

Now, however, Jodie has had a complete mindset and career overhaul, turning her back on fame to run an animal sanctuary in Great Dunmow, Essex and opening Fripps Farm in 2020
Now, however, Jodie has had a complete mindset and career overhaul, turning her back on fame to run an animal sanctuary in Great Dunmow, Essex and opening Fripps Farm in 2020.
However, Jodie is under pressure with the staggering costs of running Fripps, and turned to OnlyFans to help pay the bills.
She estimates it costs roughly £24,000 a month to keep the sanctuary open, taking into account vet bills, food and daily costs.
'There's costs for little things people don't even think about it', Jodie mused. 'For instance, I've probably bought six or seven hose pipes this year they're not cheap because they have to be extra long to reach the fields. Then what happens if an animal chews one or breaks one?
'It's all the little things that people don't even think about. The say "oh, surely you just have to feed them" but the costs are just outrageous.'
In order to help with the mounting bills, Jodie returned to what she knew best: glamour modelling.
'Before we became a C.I.C (Community Interest Company) I was funding it all myself and I did it by doing OnlyFans', she explained.
'The perimeter fence alone for securing the animals cost £60,000 so I had to pay for that with OnlyFans. My boobs paid for the fences and they also paid the staff's wages!'
Now that Fripps is a C.I.C they can accept public donations to help with the day-to-day costs and Jodie was quick to thank her 'utterly amazing' followers who have donated money or bought food for the animals.

A vegetarian from the age of five, Jodie has always adored wildlife, and while she was earning thousands stripping off for glamour shoots, she would be daydreaming about working with animals.
However, it wasn't until the tragic death of her mother Kristina in September 2020 from cancer that Jodie felt the push she needed to open Fripps Farm.
Jodie explained: 'When my mum got sick, her decline was fairly quick. It was during Covid so me and my dad had to care for her at home because the hospitals had kicked all the cancer patients out.
'It was just horrific. I gave up work and gave up everything to care for my mum. And that was what made me realise that life's too short, watching my mum die in front of me.
'Why would I go and do another TV show or another photoshoot or whatever it is when that's not what I want to be doing in life? That's not what's gonna make me happy.
'What's gonna make me happy is having an animal sanctuary, because it's the only thing I've ever truly wanted. I always knew that was the end goal.'
It wasn't a hard decision for Jodie to step away from the limelight.
By her own admission: 'I hated being famous. If I had money no one would ever see me again!'
Now though, Jodie is pleased that she went through the trauma of being trolled because it put her on her path to opening Fripps.
She explained: 'In a way I'm glad I went through it all before. I don't care now. If I hadn't I might be reading the trolls comments and feeling suicidal now whilst living my dream.
'I'm in heaven every day. Fripps is my paradise and I'm the happiest I've ever been.'
