“I just feel like I haven’t stopped,” she told 10 Daily.

The former Bachelorette star admitted she had an inkling she was about to be sent packing after the judges slammed her waltz and she was put in the bottom two alongside Travis Cloke.

“After I got the result I 100 percent knew I was in the bottom two. I had a feeling I was going to be up against Travis so I straight away knew I was going home,” she said.

“Everybody wants to see a footy player dance and get better, nobody wants to see me dance,” she continued, “he’s bloody Melbourne royalty, and he’s so beautiful. If I was going home against anyone I’m glad it was him.”

The reality star went on to admit it’s been a tough week for her mental health following her departure from the show.

“For [the judges] to be so ruthless about a dance that’s supposed to be about expressing yourself,” Angie said, “I looked back and I was like I tried, hey, and if it wasn’t good enough, it wasn’t good enough.

“I think doing this song, listening to that again and dedicating it to [Nanny Fae], that alone set me back to a time when I left Sydney,” referencing when she moved back to the Gold Coast following her grandmother’s death in 2018.

“I was in a really bad headspace when I left Sydney then,” Angie told 10 daily. “I didn’t have a home, I didn’t have work, my best friend had died.”

Dancing for her ‘most memorable year’, Angie said it resurfaced a lot of the mental health struggles she faced.

“My mental health has been really bad, my physical health has been dreadful because I just haven’t stopped.

“Even though I would have loved to stay, I think it was a sign from the universe saying ‘you just need a break’.”
