Abbie Chatfield prepares to ‘take over 2Day FM breakfast slot’

Rumours are swirling Abbie Chatfield is set to take on entertainment titans Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson, the king and queen of breakfast radio.

The former Bachelor star, 27, could be taking over a breakfast slot in 2024 on 2Day FM’s radio station, the Herald Sun report.

An Insider told the publication: ‘They’ll definitely make a play for Abbie in 2024.’

‘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.’

The podcast eventually got picked up by Listnr, which is owned by Southern Cross Austereo, which then led to her own separate radio show.

Abbie now hosts Hot Nights with Abbie Chatfield on the Hit Network. 

Meanwhile, KIIS 106.5’s The Kyle and Jackie O Show is Sydney’s most-popular FM breakfast show, according to the first radio survey of the year.
