Noughties star who dated Katie Price and married Jodie Marsh unrecognisable now
Matt Peacock is now living a completely different life away from his noughties playboy lifestyle where he dated some of the biggest stars of the time Noughties playboy who dated Katie Price and married Jodie Marsh is completely unrecognisable now. Matt Peacock rose to fame two decades ago and was known for being in relationships with some of the biggest stars at the time. However, he is now living a different life and has settled down. Matt is looking completely different as he's swapped his glamourous lifestyle for a more calm family life. The 42-year-old is still working as a model and is now married to wife Rachael after tying the knot in 2016 and welcoming a daughter called Lily together in 2018. But, he is looking different as he has ditched his iconic bleach blonde hair for a more natural brunette look. Matt's Instagram pictures are full of fitness snaps including shirtless poses as well as posting family photos of his daughter and their two dogs. Despite leaving a life of fame behind, Matt and his wife still have celebrity friends. They still mix in celebrity circles as he is close with former Corrie star Ryan Thomas and shared snaps from his 40th birthday last June. Matt's career first began when he was signed to modelling agency Boss Model Management and starred in several high-profile campaigns. He is now signed to different agency Model Team. Katie Price and Matt first started dating a few months after she welcomed her first son Harvey with ex Dwight Yorke in 2002. The then 24-year-old star met 18-year-old Matt at a car show where she was modelling. The pair went on to have a short romance where they did a joint interview for a glossy magazine. However, the romance was short lived as they were together just two months but split after a big argument. It was said by friends that Matt was struggling with the media attention at the time. Matt's next romance was when he married Katie's rival Jodie Marsh. The pair ended up marrying on reality TV show Totally Jodie Marsh: Who'll Take Jodie Marsh Up The Aisle? in 2007. They tied the knot in the Sugar Hut nightclub in Brentwood, Essex but split just months later as Matt went on to say that Jodie was only interested in him because of his previous romance with Katie. Matt's next relationship was with glamour model Rhian Sugden. They were together for a year before they broke up before she was then put back into the spotlight for a texting affair she had with TV personality Vernon Kay in 2010. 2020 saw Matt open up about how he thought he might lose his career due to losing his hair. He told The Manchester Evening News at the time: "Losing my hair had been knocking my confidence for a few years and it was really affecting my day-to-day life. "I felt so much pressure to look good and keep the modelling jobs coming in to pay my bills and keep a roof over my family's head. Social media can be a big problem too, with such an expectation of perfection. We live in such an image-obsessed world. I went for a hair transplant and it has truly changed my life."

Jodie Marsh wins fight with council to keep lemurs
Jodie Marsh should be allowed to keep lemurs at her private animal sanctuary, a judge has ruled. The former glamour model fought Uttlesford District Council in court after it refused her application for a wild animal licence in July 2024. Concerns had been raised about her taking a meerkat from her farm near Braintree, Essex, to the pub, but Ms Marsh insisted she was being targeted by online trolls. District Judge Christopher Williams said the 46-year-old was "someone who very much cares for animals". He ordered the local authority to pay her £19,641 in costs at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court. Neighbours of Fripps Farm, which Ms Marsh founded in Lindsell in 2020, attended several hearings to voice their opposition against her. Judge Williams said there was "considerable animosity" between all involved. Speaking to the BBC outside court, Ms Marsh said: "I hope that shuts my trolls up once and for all." Ms Marsh, who appeared in the ITV series Essex Wives in 2002, took the council to court after it did not allow her to adopt eight ring-tailed lemurs. She already cared for alpacas, emus and reptiles at the 3.5-acre (1.4ha) site and wept in court as the judge ruled in her favour. Judge Williams said: "There is no evidence she has mismanaged any animals or caused any animals harm." He criticised the council for providing "completely contradictory" views and going against reports stating Ms Marsh was a suitable keeper. The judge said Dr Stephen Philp, a vet hired by the authority to make a report, had relied on photographs sent to him of the farm, with no certainty they had not been edited. He also questioned why the authority said the lemurs would be too noisy, despite it admitting this was "impossible to measure". "The decision of Uttlesford District Council was wrong and, in light of evidence, it continues to be wrong," Judge Williams added. He said Ms Marsh was "passionate about the care and treatment of the animals in her care". Ms Marsh told the BBC she was "so happy and so grateful" with the ruling. "I'm just really sad that it has to come to this - It's a complete waste of time and effort," she said. "As the judge said, the decision was wrong in the first place. "I am just over the moon. He categorically proved in there I am a suitable person to rescue animals and that all I care about is the safety and health and wellbeing of the animals." An Uttlesford District Council spokesperson said councillors refused to allow Ms Marsh a wild animal licence after "careful consideration". They added: "Whilst we are disappointed with the ruling today, the court has taken a fresh look at it and reached a different conclusion, which we fully accept."
