Instagram vs reality: Abbie Chatfield is praised for exposing the unflattering TRUTH behind glamorous bikini photos on Instagram

The Bachelor‘s Abbie Chatfield has been praised for sharing a very relatable post exposing the reality of glamorous social media photo shoots.  

Posting to Instagram on Saturday, the I’m A Celebrity star, 26, uploaded two glossy photos of her bikini-clad gal pals posing by the pool. 

These seemingly effortless photos were juxtaposed by two rather unflattering images of Abbie crouching on the ground.

‘The photo I took v how I looked taking it (while yelling ‘YES GIRLS’),’ Abbie explained in the caption, adding: ‘My friends r hot.’ 

In her photos, a bikini-clad Abbie furrowed her brow in concentration as she attempted to capture the perfect image of her pals.  

Abbie’s army of Instagram fans quickly flooded the self-deprecating post with praise.

In recent episodes, Abbie climbed into bed for a snuggle with Ash, after endlessly flirting with each other.

However last week, when Cody Simpson’s sister Alli entered the show, Ash called her ‘mega cute’ and was quick to say that she ‘is way more my type.’

After watching the love triangle unfold on TV, the former Bachelor star hit back on her Instagram Stories, saying it hurt to ‘feel like I was spoken about as though I am an inconvenience – easily discarded.’ 

She said her self-esteem had already been low after unsuccessful stints on The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise, and that seeing Ash reject her for someone else was ‘a kick in the guts’.

‘You think your love life is bad? Imagine consistently being second best on national TV,’ she said.
