Sam Faiers has hit back at Jodie Marsh's criticism of stars of The Only Way Is Essex.
Speaking to the Daily Star, Marsh claimed that she is more "real" than any of the ITV2 hit's castmembers.
"Kirk Norcross is a really nice boy and Joey Essex is the best thing that has ever been on TV," she said. "As for the rest of them, I could not comment whether they have ever done a day's work in their lives. I don't know whether any of them even knows what work is.
"Obviously, they have got some fitness DVDs out but I am pretty sure some of them have never been in a gym in their lives other than to set up TOWIE scenes."
The 33-year-old, who is now a professional bodybuilder, added: "They live in a different world. Everything I do is real and I don't think anything they do is real."
However, taking issue with the comments, Faiers responded on Twitter, writing: "Jodie marsh saying Towie never done a days work in our life? I worked in the bank for 3 years! Jodie wore belts across her boobs? Hard work (sic)"
Marsh's new bodybuilding career will be the subject of a one-off documentary on DMAX on January 24.
