Meanwhile, Hot Nights with Abbie had only been on air since January 17 this year, leaving The Masked Singer panelist with only eleven weeks of eligible episodes. 

Abbie joked about being left out of the prestigious awards on Monday’s episode of her show as she spoke with co-host Rohan Edwards. 

She said she had been ‘crying’ about not being nominated because she felt she ‘wasn’t valued’ by the radio community.

‘It’s all good, guys, because you know what the most important nominations are? When you nominate to put us in your ears,’ she said. 

‘I don’t care about the ACRAs. It doesn’t bother me at all. I think it’s braver to admit that you’re upset than it is to pretend that you don’t care.’ 

She went on to say she just wanted to be recognised in a ‘legitimate way for once’, joking she had only been praised when she won I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

‘They were in discussions for next year but haven’t yet come up with the perfect on-air partner.’

The source added: ‘She certainly could be the wildcard that they desperately need, after a decade of dismal ratings at 2Day FM. Abbie Chatfield is the best card they can play.’

Abbie broke into the entertainment industry with her podcast, It’s a Lot, which she launched shortly after appearing on The Bachelor in 2019.
