The former Bachelor runner-up will be hosting Love Island Afterparty this year, a discussion show to take place after the episodes that gives a rundown, and offers exclusive content.
“Absolutely BUZZIN to be hosting the brand spanking new @loveislandau Afterparty this year!” the influencer wrote on Instagram.
“I can’t wait to get all of the exclusive content, gossip and interviews straight from the Villa, as well as chat to some opinionated panellists about all the dramas for the week,” she added.
“Also, I’m going to obviously try and bring a little bit of balance if we have a villain, we can speak about why they’re doing the things they do and whether we should be off them,” she explained on her Instagram stories.
“At the end of the day, we’re all a villain in someone’s story you know? Can’t wait,” she said.
Abbie was famously given a ‘sex villain’ edit on her season of The Bachelor and has since advocated for deeper discussions surrounding why people are portrayed a certain way on reality TV.
Friends and fans were quick to celebrate Abbie in the comments of her announcement on Instagram.
“This is the best news ever!!!! No one is more deserving!!!!!” wrote author and influencer Flex Mami.
“Look at you!!! 😍 this is huge bb and I guess I better start watch LO now 👏👏 proud,” added Chantelle Otten.
“CONGRATS! Proud of you 💕👏🏽” wrote former Bachelorette Angie Kent.
