Abbie Chatfield announces she is ‘single and ready to mingle’ after being booted from Bachelor in Paradise and reveals she’s ‘still banned from Tinder’
Bachelor in Paradise star Abbie Chatfield has broken her silence after leaving the show on Thursday night.
The 24-year-old took to Instagram soon after her elimination episode aired, confirming she was ‘single and ready to mingle’.
The Brisbane-based reality star also revealed she had been ‘banned’ from dating app, Tinder, while suggestively licking the top of a cocktail.

‘The journey is over but at least I can let you know ya girl is single and ready to mingle,’ she told viewers and fans.
Abbie was a finalist on Matt Agnew’s season of The Bachelor. She said the experience was ‘so different’ to her last.
‘I could cry thinking about all of the incredible support I received this time around.’ she said.

She then encouraged viewers to be kind to other cast members: ‘Please remember to be kind to all the cast this year, despite what you think they have done.’
Abbie finished by saying she was ‘ok’ and will forever be watching. She was sent home from Paradise on Thursday night’s episode of the series.
Abbie was left blindsided by the move after Jamie Doran, 40, earlier promised he’d give her his rose, something he’d also promised Brittney Weldon.

After thinking she’d manipulated Jamie into giving her his rose, Abbie later admitted it was all a ploy for her to stay on the show.
‘Jamie’s keen on me. I’m not keen on Jamie. But I’d be fine to accept a rose from him. It’s just so I can get through to the next round of boys,’ she admitted.
She was completely taken by surprise when Jamie ultimately chose Brittney, 26, stammering: ‘I’m fine. I’m fine. I’m fine. I cannot believe this.’

Abbie showed her keen interest in Ciarran Stott on the show, with him also taking a liking to her too.
The pair had a raunchy bedroom session and went on a date, but Ciarran later showed more interest in co-star, Jessica Brody.
Bachelor in Paradise continues on Channel Ten, Tuesday, 7.30pm.
