The fan commented: ‘You need to watch the movie, He’s just not that into you!’
Abbie soon replied, explaining that while they were physically close in the jungle during filming late last year, it was never about romance for her.
She wrote: ‘Ash and I literally were cuddling every night and all day because we both have physical affection as our love language and needed affection to get through our time.
‘We repeatedly chatted about being just mates and I wanted to pash him because, well, we were cuddling every night and it felt weird not to considering how physically close we were constantly.
‘So, I never had feelings for Ash. We regularly spoke about someone I had a crush on on the outside.’

Abbie followed this up by denying the fan’s suggestion she had ‘unrequited’ feelings for the funnyman, after previously being left heartbroken on The Bachelor.
She wrote: ‘If you truly believe what you’ve written in your comment, why do you want to ridicule me for having someone not be into me?
‘Is it because your internalised misogyny teaches you to revel in another woman’s rejection? Is it because your tall poppy syndrome makes you desire my downfall?’

‘Which is it? If I saw someone being “rejected” on TV I’d feel for them, not want to make them feel worse,’ she added.
