The former glamour model has released pictures to illustrate how she went from looking toned to building muscular biceps and a six pack in two months.
Her journey from a size 10 model to a size 6 bodybuilder, with the help of trainer Tim Sharp, is the subject of a programme shown next Tuesday on the DMX men's channel.
Jodie competed in the Natural Physique Association (NPA) Mike Williams Classic and Pro-Am Bodybuilding Championships in Sheffield in September last year.
She said at the time: "In just 50 days I have gone from 25% body fat to 10% body fat, gained 8 pounds of muscle, and lost 20 pounds of fat. In eight weeks I have achieved what normally takes 6 to 9 months."
"This is the best I've ever felt, and the best my body has ever felt too."
