Former glamour model Jodie Marsh has denied assaulting a man at her animal sanctuary. The incident allegedly happened at Fripps Farm, a rescue centre she runs in Lindsell, near Great Dunmow, Essex, on 16 January. Marsh, 47, is also accused of using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour to cause or provoke violence against the man and a woman. Sitting in the dock at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court, she was told a trial would take place on 7 May 2027. Christopher Hynes and Susan Hammond were named in court as the alleged victims. Deputy district judge Rhys Rosser said the trial would take place at Colchester Magistrates' Court. Marsh rose to fame in the ITV series Essex Wives in 2002 and became a regular face in the tabloid newspapers. Alpacas, emus and reptiles are among the animals she keeps at the private 3.5-acre (1.4-hectare) Fripps Farm, which she founded in 2020 and used OnlyFans to partly fund. The sanctuary was at the heart of a legal battle in 2025, when Marsh took Uttlesford District Council to court after it refused to grant her a wild animal licence. The judge in that case said there was "considerable animosity" between all involved. Do you have a story sugg
