She has been a Page Three girl, has appeared in many men’s magazines, has featured on popular British television programmes, and has released a pop single that reached number 27 in the UK singles chart.

Before becoming a model, Marsh worked as a care assistant for the elderly at the Royley House Nursing Home in her hometown of Royton.
She received national media attention in 2001, at the age of eighteen, when she placed second in The Sun tabloid newspaper’s “National Cleavage Week” contest. In 2002, she won the “Search for a Babe” contest run by The Daily Star, and began appearing topless as a “Star Babe” in that newspaper later that year. Between 14 March 2003 and 23 December 2004 she appeared thirty times as a Page Three girl in The Sun,[4] which hailed her as “the new Samantha Fox.”
Marsh went on to appear in men’s magazines such as Loaded, Perfect 10, Nuts, Maxim, Zoo and Playboy. From the beginning of her career, Marsh was regularly partnered with Lucy Pinder, with whom she has appeared in magazines, television and corporate appearances.
In 2003, Marsh flew to Iraq to entertain British troops serving abroad. Her picture was painted on a Harrier jet, which was renamed “Michelle Belle” in her honour. In 2006, she spent three weeks entertaining British troops stationed in Afghanistan.
