Engagement announcement
In September 2024, Abigail announced the happy news of her engagement to Dan at the German Darts Championship 2024.
She received the happiest of surprises as she was preparing to cover another Euro tour.
The TV star’s partner Dan proposed and she said yes while seemingly enjoying a cold pint.
Abigail even joked that she initially thought the ring was for darts star Steve Beaton.
She tweeted: “I think he bought this ring to propose to Steve Beaton but I’ll take it…
“Of course it happened at a Euro Tour.”
Amazing Abigail
Abigail has significant fanbase across social media, with almost 40,000 followers on Twitter alone.
She inspired people all over the world when she bravely lifted the lid on her anorexia battle after working at the World Darts Championship.
Abigail said: “Went to The Priory the day before the World Championship started.
“Final question before I left: ‘Can you promise you’ll keep yourself alive over Christmas?’
“So yeah, proud for doing what I needed to, to deal with anorexia/suicidal thoughts.
“Posting this for everyone in the same boat. We’ve got this.”
You're Not Alone
EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide
It doesn’t discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society – from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.
It’s the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.
And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.
Yet it’s rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.
That is why The Sun launched the You’re Not Alone campaign.
The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our bit to help save lives.
Let’s all vow to ask for help when we need it, and listen out for others… You’re Not Alone.
