Jodie Marsh has paid tribute to former Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott, calling him the 'perfect gentleman' following his death aged 86.

The former Labour MP and peer passed away on Wednesday to the sound of his favourite jazz music and surrounded with loved-ones at his care home after a long battle with illness.

Lord Prescott was Tony Blair's pugnacious political bruiser and famed for being unafraid to speak his mind.
One person who saw a different side to the rambunctious politician, however, was glamour model Jodie Marsh who went for dinner with him while he was filming his 2008 BBC documentary, Prescott: The Class System And Me.

Speaking to MailOnline about her night out with Lord Prescott, Jodie - who was one of Page 3 It girls at the time - revealed she was pleasantly surprised by how down to earth he was and the way he treated her.

Jodie explained: 'I didn't know much about him and I try not to have any preconceived ideas, but I probably did think he would maybe be a bit boring.

'But he was so down to earth and normal and nice and funny. I felt like he was really listening to me, unlike when some other older men can be a bit pompous and look down their nose at you, especially a glamour model... He made me feel seen and heard.'
Jodie had been asked to dinner to discuss the modern notions of class with the MP for his BBC2 show.

Having been given control over where they'd meet, Jodie picked The Wellington in Knightsbridge, West London which had a restaurant upstairs and nightclub downstairs.

'He was amazing and such a lovely man,' Jodie recalled. 'He was very attentive and a good listener. He was also very interesting and had lots to say - it was clear he was very, very in love with his wife [Pauline].'

While the pair had filmed all their content for the show by the time they'd finished their starters, Lord Prescott and Jodie were getting along so well that they decided to stay and finish their meals.
