Jodie Marsh fronts Channel 5 bullying documentary


Jodie Marsh is fronting a new Channel 5 documentary about bullying.

The glamour model's show Can We Beat The Bullies? will explore the story of the thousands of children who suffer physical and mental abuse at school, on the street and online.

Marsh discussed her own issues with bullying in previous documentary My Secret Past. The new film will attempt to examine what can be done about the nationwide issue.

She will visit the US to find out what procedures are taking place Stateside to protect children, following a spate of suicides and school shootings.

The lads' mag favourite will meet American families, who've lost their children to bullying and learn new ground-breaking anti-bullying techniques being used in US schools.

Channel 5's head of factual news and current affairs Andrew O'Connell said: "This series gives viewers a fascinating insight into the issues and the progress done in the US to tackle bullying, which affects nearly 13 million kids a year.
