Jodie Marsh announces mum’s death after cancer battle with emotional tribute

Jodie Marsh’s mum Kristina has died after battling cancer.

The former glamour model, 41, shared the heartbreaking news onto her Twitter account on Wednesday night.

She penned: “My beautiful, classy, kind, generous, clever, incredible mum passed away this morning. She was my best friend & the strongest woman I know.

“She was the best mum in the world & the best human you could ever wish to know. I love you so so much mum. How do I do this without you?”

Jodie added a number of snaps of herself and her mum to illustrate the sad post.

After she shared the message the model was sent kind messages of condolences from her fans.

One penned: “Jodie, if it’s any consolation – any at all – your Mum was beautiful and you can see how much she loved you. You must have been her pride and joy. I’m really really sorry to hear this news and I hope you can get through this x”

Others added: “Oh Jodie I can’t even begin to imagine the pain u are going through I’m so sorry for your loss xx” and “Oh darling, I’m so sorry. Sending all the love and strength.”

In May, Jodie said that her mum was ‘turfed out of hospital’ because of the coronavirus pandemic despite battling an aggressive form of cancer.

The bodybuilder explained that her mum had been sent home from hospital because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

She later admitted that her mum was ‘fading fast’ at home.

Jodie was responding to a social media post by charity Balls To Cancer, which urged people not to shy away from the NHS with cancer symptoms.

The original post wrote: “We cannot say it enough. THE NHS IS OPEN please do not sit at home with any cancer symptoms, get to speak to your doctor or visit A & E. The figures in cancer diagnosis are drastically down. Please remember lives are saved by early detection! Please RT.”

Jodie explained in the comments that her mum had faced quite the opposite experience.

Jodie tweeted: “Not quite true. My mum was basically turfed out of hospital and told “come back in 8 weeks” even though she has the most aggressive growing cancer her consultant had ever seen.”

She added: “Thrown out of hospital because of Covid. No treatment. She’s dying at home. No word from hospital.”

Jodie also explained on the micro-blogging site that they were already trying lots of home remedies when a follower suggested she try cannabis oil and an alkaline diet.

Jodie wrote: “We’ve already done/are doing both. Her cancer is so aggressive. We’ve been told what treatment she needs but hospital won’t see her til June. Sickening x.”
