Concerns had been raised about her taking a meerkat to the pub.
Former glamour model Marsh, 46, said trolls were behind much of the criticism of her sanctuary in Lindsell, Essex.
At a previous hearing, clips of screeching zoo lemurs were played to Chelmsford magistrates' court.
But Judge Christopher Williams dismissed the council's argument about the animals' noise.
He said Marsh was passionate about the care and treatment of the animals under her supervision.
The judge added: 'The decision by Uttlesford District Council was wrong and continues to be wrong. I allow the appeal.'
The former Page 3 girl has traded her hard-partying lifestyle for hands-on work at her own animal sanctuary in Essex.
In a recent interview with The Sun, Jodie referred to herself as a farm girl and a "mess".
In a further self-deprecating comment, she added that she was "fat but happier than ever".
Despite her contentment, she lives with "anxiety/depression, aches and pains" and is using CBD oil to improve her daily wellbeing.
Jodie Marsh gives health update after saying she's 'fat but happier than ever' now she's quit glamour modelling
The model-turned-bodybuilder- who put her huge country pile on the market last year - said: "You might recognise me as someone that used to be glamorous, sexy, a bodybuilder and everything else, but now I'm just a farm girl and I look a mess."

Gladiators in chaos as FOUR stars are injured during filming for new BBC series
Gladiators is in chaos after four of the athletes were are injured during filming for the new series. Professionals, Legend, Diamond, Bionic and Athena, have all suffered injuries during the competition, which is set to be aired in January 2026. Filming began last month at Utilita Arena in Sheffield with Bradley Walsh and his son Barney returning to host. Diamond (Livi Sheldon) has suffered a knee injury, rupturing her ACL and MCL during filming. Legend (Matt Morsia) has tore a bicep, while Bionic (Matty Campbell) dislocated his shoulder and Athena (Karenjeet Kaur Bains) also injured her knee. A source told The Sun: 'Gladiators is the ultimate test of speed, strength and endurance - and four of its champions have paid the price.' They added: 'It just goes to show that these games are tough and even our professionals can suffer injuries.' Meanwhile the upcoming series of Celebrity Gladiators will come out just before the civilian one. A new batch of super fit celebrities are set to take on the Gladiators in a battle of strength and skill. The reboot of Gladiators was a smash hit when it aired last year, and a celebrity spin-off was quickly commissioned, featuring comedians and gym lovers. But this year the casting team have stepped it up and found four stars who can definitely give the Gladiators a run for their money. The Sun reported last month that model Vogue Williams will be joined on the show by fitness guru Joe Wicks, former Olympic boxer Nicola Adams, and gym-obsessed I'm A Celeb winner Sam Thompson. Vogue won the first series of Bear Grylls: Mission Survive and regularly shares fitness tips and workout videos with her Instagram followers. Meanwhile Joe dominated British TV screens during Covid thanks to his at-home workout clips, and reality star Sam often shares his gym progress. Former Olympian Nicola could however prove the one to beat, after retiring undefeated in 2019 and becoming the first female boxer to become an Olympic champion after winning gold at London 2012. A source told the publication: 'Last year, producers of the debut celebrity version played it for laughs with three comedians taking part — with hilarious results for viewers. 'But this year they've assembled four celebrities who can give the Gladiators a serious run for their money, and serve up a clash to savour. The first series of Celebrity Gladiators saw Joel Dommett and Ellie Taylor crowned the winners after a tense finale.

Earlier this month, Andy dumped Lou, with insiders revealing he was 'sick of her demands and influencer lifestyle'. Meanwhile, longstanding couple Billi and Andy confirmed they'd called time on their relationship last September, just two years after tying the knot. But The Sun revealed the couple actually split in June 2024 - with Andy and Lou, 41, getting together just weeks later. After his rollercoaster few months, hot yoga teacher Billi was quick to celebrate her summer of happiness and family time. She kicked off her social media gallery with a snap showing her mum and kids before showcasing an image showing her posing with her parent.

He said in an exclusive interview with The Sun: 'I love Lou and I love her family. We row like any couple. 'Things have been difficult for me and I'm going through a divorce. 'Some of our rows have been about alcohol, as Lou has been teetotal for 14 years and I have a beer or wine at dinner and a drink after the game, but it's not a problem in my life. 'I'm a professional footballer and that's not the case. 'I play sport every single day so my level of fitness is really good. I play football every day so I'm fit.' Meanwhile, the pair were spotted on a cosy dinner date this week, seemingly proving all is well. 8 The reality star thanked her mum for the 'best summer ever' Credit: Instagram 8 It came after Andy's short split with Lou came to light Credit: instagram/andytcarroll 8 The pair were this week seen on a romantic date night after they got back together and he spoke about their reunion to The Sun Credit: Instagram 8 Billi and Andy share three kids Credit: Instagram

Ulrika Jonsson slams Andy Carroll for leaving ex Billi Mucklow to care for his five kids
Andy Carroll is reportedly back with his girlfriend, Lou Teasdale, posting loved-up snaps on Instagram while his ex, Billi Mucklow, is on holiday with his kids Ulrika Jonsson has blasted Andy Carroll for 'leaving his ex, Billi Mucklow, to look after their kids' while he galivants with his girlfriend, Lou Teasdale. The former footballer and celebrity make-up artist, were rumoured to have called it quits last week, but are now back together according to Andy, and posting loved-up snaps on Instagram - some with their tongues down each other's throats. Billi, meanwhile, who shares three kids with the National League star - and also looks after his two children from a previous relationship - is currently in Majorca with her brood. It comes as the mum-of-three shared a sizzling bikini snap in Spain taken by the former couple's daughter, Marve l. Giving her take on Andy's antics, Ulrika fumed in her column for The Sun:"I have been watching the Andy Carroll/Billi Mucklow split unfold over the past months and it has quietly infuriated me. "Before you knew it, Carroll and his new flame, Lou Teasdale of influencer fame, were posing up a storm on social media draped all over each other; tongues down each other's throats (yes, literally). "Forever holidaying like love's young dream. It's been beach trip after festival after party. Their summer of love has been so relentless, I'm exhausted just watching them. "Meanwhile, Billi is at home with the three children she shares with Carroll and the two children he has from a previous relationship. She's been going about her business quietly, diligently, with unwavering dignity. Choosing to put the children first." After dating for a year, it was reported last week that Andy had dumped mum-of-one, Lou, after growing tired of her high maintenance behaviour. The couple unfollowed each other from social media and the footballer even went as far as to erase all trace of his girlfriend from his Instagram account. However, according to the Daily Mail, it was the other way round, reporting that Lou was the one to call time on their romance. Andy has since set the record straight and vowed to cut down on alcohol in a bid to save his relationship with Lou after boozy rows, as he confirmed the pair are trying 'to work through their difficulties', insisting that he 'loves Lou and her family'. Since their reunion, the couple have resumed their trademark snogging snaps. However, Billi looks like she couldn't care less in her recent posts as she enjoys her holiday in the sun with her family.
