UK star Jodie Marsh fears she has PIP implants
- 12 years ago
Toned and in great shape - Jodie Marsh looks like she has the perfect body.
But the 33-year-old former glamour model is worrried she might be one of the thousands of women caught up in the PIP boob-job scare.
SOUNDBITE: Jodie Marsh, Britsh TV Personality and bodybuilder, saying (English):
''I don't know if I have got these PIP implants, nobody has been in touch with me from the hospital or my surgeon, you know nobody has contacted me, so I now have to contact them, which I am going to do, yes obviously I am really really worried about it, it's a big deal.''
About 300,000 women in 65 countries are estimated to have received the dodgy French implants, which are allegedly made with sub-standard silicone gel, that investigators say increases the risk of rupture.
For Jodie, it's not the first time her breast implant surgery has caused her problems.

''For me my boob job, yes it made me feel better and I love my boobs, but I do have a massive great scar on one so they are still not perfect, and that was a major drama it took a year to heal up, I had an open wound for a year and that was horrific that was I can't even tell you the hole itself was probably that big and it was bleeding and pussing and I had to have the dressings changed everyday and nothing I did would heal it and I was depressed, crying, I couldn't work because of it obviously, I couldn't do anything physical couldn't come to the gym couldn't do anything and was basically sitting at home depressed for a year because of my boob job, so my boob job is a horror story in itself without talking about the PIP implants and everything else.''
A boob horror story she no doubt hoped was behind her and with a new TV show due to air - things couldn't be going better for the celebrity.
Lets hope her profile boost is not deflated then, by this latest health scandal.
