Abbie Chatfield reveals FBoy Island deal-breaker
Abbie Chatfield reveals big deal breaker before signing on the dotted line to host new TV show FBoy Island
Abbie Chatfield had two conditions before signing on the dotted line to host new dating series FBoy Island.
The reality star, 27, said she wanted a cast of racially diverse contestants and also demanded control over her script lines.
βI was really encouraging not to have an all-white cast. I think we did a pretty good job representing Australia,” she told the Courier Mail.
βAnd sometimes the jokes in the foreign versions don’t embarrass the boys. They’re like, “I bet he has an STD.” We tried to turn it around.’
The brunette beauty further revealed that many of the production team were on the same page with her demands.

In April, Chatfield’s upcoming reality show was criticized for its lack of “body diversity” after the female cast members were announced.
Chatfield, who is known for her progressive views and opposition to “diet culture,” praised the “incredible women” who took part in the Binge series β Ziara, Sophie and Molly β in a post shared to her 450,000 Instagram followers.
But some of her fans noted that there was no size difference between the three women, saying it was “so sad” to see a total absence of “plus-size” talent.

“No body diversity…so sad, honey,” one person commented.
Chatfield, a former Bachelor contestant, quickly responded by saying she agrees there should be better representation on the matchmaking show.
“Unfortunately, I have no control over casting in any way, but your comment shows the producers of all shows that audiences want a diversity of bodies, so I appreciate the comment,” she wrote.

Chatfield found herself in the host seat for the new 10-part series that will follow three ladies as they try to find love out of 24 suitors.
However, the twist is that half of the men are time wasting ‘f**k boys’ and the other half are genuinely looking for love.
