I would just like to say a few words.....
In tonight's episode of "Totally Jodie Marsh, Who'll take her up the Aisle?" my "P.A" Stephen acts like he's hard done by and like he's being treated badly. He even makes a huge deal out of the fact that my husband Matt didn't thank him in his speech after we were married. Gordon (who is a friend of Stephen's) claims that Matt and I were engaged from the start of this show and also that Matt was on the insurance for my car from the beginning too.
Here are the hard facts:
Stephen was paid by Zig Zag (the production company who made the TV show) to be my P.A for the duration of the show. He was paid to do a job. About 2 months ago I bumped into a friend of mine called Nick who has organised lots and lots of celeb weddings. I asked Nick if he would organise my wedding and Nick said yes. Stephen then begged me not to hire Nick. Stephen begged me to let him organise the wedding. In the end (and with Stephen close to tears) I relented because I felt sorry for him and said "ok babe but it's going to be hard work!" He was over the moon. He WANTED to organise my wedding and he was being paid by Zig Zag.
Matt didn't thank him in his speech because Matt hardly even knew Stephen. After the boys had met each other a few times, Matt and I were then horrified to hear Stephen being extremely nasty about Matt (on film - as was shown a couple of episodes ago). It is traditional for the groom to thank the bride, bridesmaids & ushers in his speech, it is not traditional for the groom to thank a P.A who was paid to do a job (and who has been slagging the groom off publicly).
I met Gordon about a month or so into filming when Stephen brought him in to help out (at least I think that's why he was there). I have no idea whether Gordon was paid to work for the show or not. I certainly did not pay him, nor did I ask him to work for me. It is NOT TRUE that Matt and I were engaged from the beginning and neither is it true that Matt was on the insurance for my car. I have the documents to prove this as I only put Matt on the insurance for my car 2 days ago (after we were married).
As for Stephen and Gordon going on about all the free stuff we got for the wedding; it is true that we got lots of things for free, but we also paid for a lot of things too (as did my parents). The things we got for free were either offered to us or Stephen arranged them (ie. we didn't actively go out looking for free things). Since the wedding; myself, my mum, my dad and Matt have tried calling Stephen up to 25 times a day (and have left numerous messages) only to be totally ignored. All we want from him are the contact details for the people that gave us stuff for free so that we could write them all a personal thank you and give them a public thanks on here (my website). Since Stephen still refuses to answer his phone to any of us (and will not give us the details of people to thank) I have now decided to devote the next whole week tracking everyone down who helped us out.
Lastly I do want to say a gigantic thank you to all those who helped with our wedding (those who did it out of the kindness of their hearts and not because they were being paid or because they wanted to be famous).
The full list of all the people who supplied things for the wedding will be on this site this week so watch this space. I intend to bust a gut finding every single one of them.
Loads of love Jodie Peacock x x x x x x x
