During an interview for Star Magazine, Jodie stated that as a businesswoman, she was doing this for the money as well as confiding that all her friends are getting married and having kids and she needs a husband.
The auditions themselves were not successful, as they drew fewer people than expected. From the beginning of the series, ratings dropped rapidly, and as a result MTV One screened a double bill for episodes 4 and 5. Details of her marriage and venue were revealed before the show was halfway complete.[1]
Marsh married former-boyfriend-of-Katie Price's Matt Peacock on 1 September 2007 at Sugar Hut, a nightclub in Essex. Another wedding ceremony was shown on MTV One on 2 September 2007 in her mum's back garden on Sunday.[2]
The couple split up after three months. In 2015, Marsh stated that Peacock was "the worst guy I could have picked", and of the show and its aftermath that it "was the worst period of my whole life. I’m embarrassed. I’m ashamed".[3]
