It was one of the most gut-wrenching pieces of television, since the last season of The Bachelor.

Abbie Chatfield was the heartbroken casualty of Matt Agnew's season.

The 32-year-old followed his heart, and it turns out, it's with Chelsie McLeod.

Now, Abbie has broken her silence since that final rose ceremony in South Africa.

Minutes after the rejection airred on Australian TV, Abbie decided to break from the Bachie-approved posts, writing her very own statement about the moment Matt dumped her.

Abbie released the following statement:

The only way I can describe this moment is complete and utter shock. I was numb. I couldn’t and didn’t want to feel anything.

I had felt for weeks that what Matt and I had was real and I trusted him wholeheartedly when he told me how he felt about me.

From Hometowns, I forgot the cameras were there. It didn’t feel like we were filming a show at all, it felt like we had this real relationship built in a little bubble of “The Bachelor” and we would be out soon and able to live a normal life.

Hearing Matt say “my heart is with someone else” reminded me that we were filming and that Matt had to make a difficult decision, and he did not see in me what I saw in him. I felt silly for ever imagining Matt would love me.

It was like emotional whiplash. I was so confused and it felt like I was in a dystopian reality. The second the cameras turned off, I sobbed. I screamed. I couldn’t breathe. I didn’t think think this would be how we would end. I spent weeks crying about this relationship that had almost no closure. I still haven’t fully healed from my relationship with Matt, but I know he and the gorgeous woman he is with are happy, and that’s all that matters.

On tonight's episode of The Bachelor, Matt Agnew revealed he'd found the woman of his dreams.

Chelsie McLeod.

"My heart belongs to someone else."

"I still vividly can remember seeing you walking down the red carpet, having that wow moment. I just had it again then, I think I've had it every time I've seen you. You reduce me to a schoolboy, I could get lost in your eyes And it doesn't matter how I'm feeling, you make me happy and you lift me with a smile. I've...struggled with my emotions and second-guessebbd myself and this is the hardest decision I've ever had to make. But I have to be honest with myself and with you... ..my heart belongs with someone else. Um... ..I've treasured every moment we've had. And you deserve..."
