Sharing on Instagram, Abigail wrote: “This season I’m trying not to feel guilty for enjoying food. I’ve struggled with that for a long time and honestly it still pops up occasionally, but I’ve made progress.”
She continued: “I’m choosing joy over guilt, enjoying the food, the wine and time with my loved ones.”
Supporters rallied around her, with one follower responding: “Im also choosing joy over guilt this year! Merry Christmas.”
Another added: “Your absolutely gorgeous inside and out. Enjoy a few treats. Have a lovely Christmas and New year.”
A third supporter encouraged: “Good for you, it’s hard, but you also have to live and enjoy life.”
Meanwhile, a fourth chimed in: “Have a lovely Christmas together and enjoy wine and nibbles.”

While Abigail and John remain firmly committed to each other, another solid pairing – Rebecca Fenney and Bailey Smith – left fans stunned when they recently revealed their separation following the programme’s finale.
Just weeks after their breakup announcement, Rebecca made headlines again by confirming she’s found love with a new partner – a woman.
In a lengthy public statement, dad-of-one Bailey addressed rumours surrounding infidelity as the cause of their split, declaring: “I want to make it very clear, I never cheated on Bec at any point. I didn’t handle our break up well and for that I’m truly sorry to Bec, but I was completely loyal the whole way through our relationship.”
Rebecca took to TikTok on December 18 to reveal her new romantic interest is Liverpool FC player Lily Woodham. In the heartfelt video, Rebecca shared: “In your thirties a girl will come into your life when you least expect it.”
She continued: “You’ll question everything you’ve ever known about yourself. Who you are, what you are, how this feels so right? It’s important you don’t try and fight it. Let love in.”
