Abbie Chatfield has been snapped hitting up Bondi Beach with cast members of I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! after the show wrapped up on Sunday night.

The reality TV star, who had a stint on The Bachelor and then Bachelor in Paradise, was crowned winner of I’m a Celebrity Australia for 2021.

And on Tuesday, she joined this year’s 2022 campmates Joey Essex, Emily Seebohm, Tottie Goldsmith and David Subritzky for an outing at the popular Sydney beach.

The 28-year-old stunned in a skimpy yellow bikini from RAQ Apparel with her long blonde hair loose in curls.

She opted for a make-up free look as she posed alongside the cast with British reality star Joey, 31, throwing an arm over her shoulder for one of the happy snaps

Absent from the beach day was Dylan Lewis, 48, who had been crowned the king of the jungle at the finale. He earned $100,000 for his chosen charity, Lifeline.

Another photo showed Abbie to be sporting a blue cap while carrying a black and white beach bag.

The radio host couldn’t help but show off her bright bikini, taking to Instagram to share a selfie while posing on the edge of her bed.

She collaborated with the RAQ Apparel releasing on a range of 80s-inspired swimsuits, including the ‘limoncello’ set.

In an interview with the brand, the feminist and influencer said she has “always had a pretty good relationship” with her body.

“I’m very lucky to have a very supportive mum in that like she never commented on our weight and never commented on her weight either,” she said.

However, there was a time when she would edit her photos.

During a segment on her new radio show Hot Nights With Abbie on Friday, Abbie revealed how she would often Photoshop her images before posting them to Instagram prior to becoming famous.

While Abbie only had around 1000 followers and wasn’t yet working as an influencer, the response she received on the edited photos was “messing with my head”.

“My edited photos would get like double the likes,” she said. “So I’d feel like the way that I saw myself (was that) I was only good looking with edited photos.”

Abbie quit editing her photos in 2018 prior to appearing on reality TV saying she had “stopped for myself, it wasn’t any political stance”.

She also called on celebrities like the Kardashians to stop photoshopping, with Kim recently forced to delete an Instagram post of her in a bikini after a very obvious editing fail was spotted by fans.

“When these things happen it’s, ‘haha funny’, but can we like stop editing our photos?” Abbie said.

Last month Abbie was praised by her followers for including a very relatable in a bikini photo she posted to Instagram.

Abbie was among a host of models and influencers to attend Monday Swimwear’s Yacht Day in December and posted a photo of herself in one of the brand’s bikinis to social media.

Abbie’s followers were quick to saw how good she looked in the photo, but it was a “real” detail she raised in the caption that got the most praise. “Category is: Shaving rash,” she wrote, also adding in the comments section: “PSA: the new trend is shaving rash!!”
