" Jodie Marsh has opened up to Digital Spy about the &amp;quot;horrendous&amp;quot; bullying she has received from fellow celebrities, the press and the public throughout her career. The model-turned-bodybuilder, who is fronting new anti-bullying TV series Jodie Marsh: Bullied, said that famous faces who make abusive comments just to &amp;quot;cause a stir&amp;quot; are setting &amp;quot;bad examples&amp;quot; to fans.  &amp;quot;So many celebrities set bad examples. They need editing before they speak,&amp;quot; Marsh said. &amp;quot;Someone needs to stop them.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m not sure if it&amp;#039;s because they&amp;#039;re not very bright, or they know it&amp;#039;s going to cause a stir if they say that. There are loads who shouldn&amp;#039;t get away with saying what they say.  &amp;quot;I do think they just do it for attention. It&amp;#039;s the only way some of them can. By slagging someone off and being abusive, they know that everyone will then talk about them.&amp;quot; Talking about her own battles - after which she felt suicidal - she said: &amp;quot;My worst experience was when I was in the Celebrity Big Brother house [in 2006]. It was really rough. I felt like I was being bullied by three old men - Michael Barrymore, Pete Burns and George Galloway. They were old enough to be my dad. That was horrendous. That shouldn&amp;#039;t have been allowed to happen.  &amp;quot;CBB has changed since then, if that happened now they&amp;#039;d stop it, but at the time they just let it happen to me because I suppose it was good TV.&amp;quot;  She continued: &amp;quot;I feel like at times I&amp;#039;ve been bullied by the press - where they&amp;#039;ve said such nasty stuff about me, they&amp;#039;ve attacked me physically and attacked what I look like.  &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s one thing to say, &amp;#039;I don&amp;#039;t like Jodie Marsh for whatever reason&amp;#039; but don&amp;#039;t attack me for my physical appearance and call me ugly, fat or whatever. That goes for every celebrity.&amp;quot; However, Marsh said that she does sometimes &amp;quot;feel sorry&amp;quot; for online trolls and the &amp;quot;miserable&amp;quot; lives they lead.  &amp;quot;Something is missing in their lives and having done a lot of bullying work now, people who sit and hate online are miserable and don&amp;#039;t have good lives,&amp;quot; she said.  &amp;quot;Sometimes I name and shame them but I pick and choose. It always makes them look stupid - they&amp;#039;ll have half a million of my followers going &amp;#039;Ah, you twat,&amp;#039; but I don&amp;#039;t want to make their lives worse than they already are.  &amp;quot;On the one hand I want to highlight it, but I don&amp;#039;t want to destroy the troll&amp;#039;s life. Some people are not mentally stable.&amp;quot;  On her bullying campaign work, she said: &amp;quot;A shocking fact is that the school shootings the US have, 70% of those are due to bullying. Most people think these kids who walk into a school and start shooting are evil or born lunatics - but they&amp;#039;re actually at the end of their tether and literally snap and want to inflict pain on people who have hurt them. It&amp;#039;s like revenge. That was really upsetting.  &amp;quot;I do a lot of anti-bullying work in schools off camera. We go into schools and help the teachers in how to deal with it. The anti-bullying policies are rubbish and they don&amp;#039;t know what to do with it. We have to educate the teachers.&amp;quot; Jodie Marsh: Bullied starts on Channel 5 on April 4 at 10pm.
