BOMBSHELL SECRETS!

THE JUICY INSIDE SCOOP ON THIS SEASON OF BIP!

As Australia prepares to watch the fresh batch of singles arrive on the island, newcomer Abbie Chatfield dishes on all the behind-the-scenes gossip.

NO RELAXING!

The Bachelor alum and first-time Bachelor in Paradise star Abbie says there is absolutely no downtime during the dates – and the 24-year-old says she wanted nothing more than to just wear a skirt and sneakers instead of donning a gown and having perfect hair and makeup every minute. “All I want is to go and have dinner in a denim skirt and a T-shirt and sneakers. I was so sick of wearing gowns!” Abbie tells New Idea. “I was so sick of going sunbathing with my hair curled and a full face [of makeup]. I don’t wear foundation usually. Very stressful!”

PRODUCERS ON DATING APPS

While the islanders are looking for love at the resort, Abbie says she and other cast members were jealous of producers going on real dates via dating apps such as Hinge or Tinder. There’s no online dating in paradise!
