How I Did It: Abbie Chatfield On Becoming One Of Australia’s Favourite Reality TV Stars

In the four short years since her Aussie television screen debut in 2019, Abbie Chatfield has quickly established herself as one of Australia’s most prominent and entertaining media personalities.

With a podcast, a live radio show, TV show hosting duties, multiple appearances on various reality TV shows as both a contestant and a judge, it’s safe to say Abbie Chatfield is a multi-hyphenate embodied.

8. Can you tell us more about why you wanted to host FBoy Island?

“I was lucky enough to be sent the US episodes and I finished two seasons in five days, staying up until four in the morning addicted to the concept. Nikki Glaser does such a fabulous job of hosting the US series, with comedy at the forefront and I was thrilled at the prospect of being able to do that myself in the show. 

The format itself is cathartic to watch and be involved in because the three women really are in control and they’re able to come into the show with a sense of scepticism rather than being expected to believe everything they see at face value, much like dating in the real world. The show is completely self-aware, it’s funny, and it’s also hopefully, a little bit educational to any FBoys watching. There are lots of learning moments for the FBoys both on- and off-screen that can be shared far and wide.”

9. What was a highlight of hosting the show?

“Finale! I’ve never seen anything more intense on reality TV, but that’s all I can say about it.”

10. Finally, what advice do you have for anyone who wants to do something similar?

“The way that I got here is extremely unconventional and without The Bachelor Australia I wouldn’t be here, so I’m not sure that I can give tangible advice. 

I would say that my career has been based off resilience and a willingness to speak up for what I believe is right. I don’t think that’s a direct path to what I’m doing, but I think it’s important that people do so — no matter where they are in life.”
