Jodie Marsh has reportedly joined ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ for it’s third series.

The reality TV show will return to ITV2 later this year and insiders say that the attention seeking model is keen to be a new cast member, because it is set in her old stomping ground.

From Brentwood in Essex, Jodie is reportedly set to replace buxom red head Amy Childs on the reality show, after she announced her departure so she could join the lineup of Celebrity Big Brother.

An insider told the Daily Star newspaper: “Since Kirk split up with Lauren Pope he has been hanging out with Jodie. She would definitely spice it up a bit.”

However, Jodie may not be the only new addition to TOWIE, as it has been reported that none of the stars who entered the show in it’s second series have been guaranteed a place in the third.

This means that cast members such as Chloe Sims, Lauren Pope, Maria Fowler, Joey Essex, Gemma Collins and Kirk’s dad Mick Norcross may not make the cut when the show returns next month.

Original star Sam Faiers recently said: “It’s really sad but they have said they won’t be signing up all the people who were in the second series again.”
