In 2020 Jodie founded - a sanctuary taking in any animal that needs a home.

Jessie, 51, who has played Kat Slater on the soap since 2000, turned out to support her pal at the farm in Great Dunmow in Essex.

It's currently home to 250 animals who have been saved from slaughter, having opened three years ago.

Posting a video alongside Jessie at the farm, Jodie said: "Can I just point out she's the fittest woman alive.

"Look how gorgeous and fit she is. She's so glam."

Jessie laughed off the compliments and said how happy she was to be at the farm with Jodie.

"I love it here," said Jessie.

"It's brilliant what you've done. I'll definitely be back."

Jodie captioned the video: "The very beautiful @jessie.wallace_official came to @frippsfarm today!!!

"It was lovely having her. She loved meeting all the animals !! Bonnie goat took a shine to her and wouldn’t leave her alone.

"Such a lovely afternoon. Can’t wait for her to come and see the new house!!!"

Jodie's animal rescue centre was recently raided after she took her meerkat Mabel to the pub.

The ex-Celebrity Big Brother star, 44, claims a troll is targeting her.

She filmed RSPCA and trading standards outside the £1million farm where she keeps animals including llamas, goats and ponies.

Jodie, whose OnlyFans site helps fund it, told The Sun: “They looked over the centre and asked about the meerkat incident.

"I explained she had been orphaned, I was rearing her and she needed regular feeding every hour.

“I went to my local pub briefly and took her because she cried if I left her.

“No one made a fuss or complained. Everyone is very supportive but I have a troll who is out to cause trouble.”

Writing on Fripps Farm website, it says: "It was Jodie's mum's passing that made her realise that life is too short and she gave up everything for her life’s dream to rescue animals.

"There isn’t an animal that Jodie doesn’t love.

"She’s been vegetarian since she was five years old and then vegan for the last four years.

"Jodie has truly dedicated herself to the welfare of her animals and they come first over everything in her life.

"Jodie is the happiest she’s ever been and is only annoyed that she didn’t do this sooner.
