She was just 17 when she joined the army and was dubbed 'Combat Barbie' when she arrived for her first day with a pink suitcase, wearing heels and false eyelashes.
She was crowned Miss England during her service and was one of the only women in the Royal Anglian Regiment in Pirbright, Surrey.
You may naturally think that a beautiful lady can be well treated in the army, but this is not the case. Hodge recently talks about her days in the army.
She was sent to Iraq for service in 2005 and had saved five colleagues there. She was given a commendation for her bravery, but it did not make her admired by other fellows, only invoking envy. She has now spoken out against her comrades, saying they would bully her and branded her a 'slut', a 'bitch' and a 'liar'.
Although she had reported her situation to her superiors with letter, instead of the letter being investigated, Katrina says she was just posted to a different regiment and moved barracks.
She claims a group of male soldiers told her she only received the commendation because she was a woman and said 'she had made the whole thing up', despite witnesses confirming it to be true.
The soldier also claims she had cans of drink thrown at her head in the canteen and said some of her colleagues wrote a letter about her filled with false allegations, pinning copies of it around the barracks.
Hodge was crowned Miss England in 2009 and took six months unpaid leave from the Army to encourage more girls to join the military. She became the first active female soldier to be elected as Miss England. She was the underwear model with excellent body figure and outstanding appearance before enlisted in the military.
But she says the beauty pageant win made her abuse worse and in 2015 she decided enough was enough and quit after 12 years of service. Now she works as a banker and lives in Brighton with her two young daughters.
