Leading lady: She now dedicates her time to her pub - after starring in campaigns for Chanel, Ernesto Esposito, Fendissime, Ghost, Lagerfeld, Monsoon, and Motorola

The pub itself, a Grade II Listed building in Kirdford, West Sussex, dates back to the 15th century.

In preparation for the opening, the gardens went under renovation in order to create a space for al fresco dining and will be kept pristine by an in-house gardener.

A local girl, originally from Petworth in West Sussex, Jodie has returned to her roots with the latest move - after a successful stint in the fashion industry.
