Abbie Chatfield celebrates her 30th birthday 'somewhere in Greece' with partner Adam Hyde - as he freestyles her a sweet celebration song
Abbie Chatfield broke her social media embargo this week to celebrate her 30th birthday.
The influencer announced last week that she was taking a month off all online platforms after a year of incessant trolling.
But Abbie was back on Instagram on Friday to reflect on her 30 years on the planet.
She shared an expansive carousel of throwback images from her past, augmented with 20 things that she wished she knew at 20.
Captioning the post, Abbie revealed that she and boyfriend Adam Hyde were living it up 'somewhere in Greece.'

'I'm excited to be 30,' she wrote. 'I've never been scared of ageing. Every day I learn and grow, so what's there to be scared of?
'I'm proud of myself for the woman I am, and I am excited to meet the woman I will become.
She continued: 'I'm happy that I made it this far. Here's what I wish I knew at 20 as I enter my 30s.
Abbie then went on to impart several pearls of wisdom that she has picked up along the way, including the ability to 'feel your feelings'.
'Don't over-intellectualise,' she wrote over an image that showed her engrossed in a book.
'Don't numb yourself with your favourite vice. It takes practise to process emotions. The more you do it, the more you learn. That is true resilience.'
She also emphasised the importance of keeping a daily journal as a way of making sense of the world.
'UNFORTUNATELY, journaling every day helps,' she imparted. 'It can be painful and daunting, but it is much like massaging a knot in the muscles.
Abbie then went on to impart several pearls of wisdom that she had picked up along the way including the ability to 'feel your feelings'
'At first it hurts and you will want to stop but you must persist until you feel the tension ease. Write freely without restriction or expectation.
She also reiterated the importance of telling people close about feelings, adding: 'Tell people how you feel as often as possible! It will free you and save you pain! And the outcome could be better than worst case. Better than you imagine'
She also waxed lyrical about the importance of keeping fit, but only up to a point.
'DO NOT exercise to punish yourself. Don't exercise out of pure vanity. Move to feel good. Dance, run, walk, stretch, do a star jump Whatever!' she exclaimed
'Exercise changes your life for the better, but only if you're listening to your body and enjoying it!
Another life lesson Abbie imparted was the importance of recognising the transient nature of life.
She wrote: 'Very few things in life are permanent, least of all your emotional state. When it's hard, don't panic, because change is coming. When it's easy, be grateful, because change is coming.'
She also had some sage words for people in relationships too, adding: Relationships SHOULD NOT be hard! They are "work" yes, but hard is not the word.
'When there is natural love and respect, issues do not linger or fester. The person you are with should make you lighter.'
Abbie's wise words were augmented by a catchy clip of boyfriend Adam Hyde celebrating his ladylove with an impromptu song.
'Birthday baby, it's the birthday queen,' Adam began singing over a simple beat while a bikini-clad Abbie danced seductively in the background.
Adam's romantic tribute was full of swoonworthy lines guaranteed to make anyone's knees buckle.
'She's the best looking woman on top of the entire world, she sings for the men and she sings for the girls,' he sang.
He continued: 'Every time I see her, I just want to weep, because she's more pretty than my favourite poems.
'30 years young with wisdom on her tongue, you know she is my favourite, she's the world's favourite song.'
Abbie also showed off her musical talent in the video, singing back up vocals of 'It's my birthday', as Adam continued his serenade.
Adam's post was met with a flurry of comments from fans - with more than a few suggesting a full studio release.
'Bro, this is sooo catchy, I'm vibing,' one follower quipped while another jumped in with a similar: 'Release this NOW! Omg happy 30th bday Abbbbbbz.'

Giorgio Armani to miss Milan shows for first time after brief stay in hospital
Giorgio Armani, the celebrated Italian designer and one of the most recognisable names in fashion, is to miss his shows at Milan fashion week this weekend due to ill health for the first time in the label's history. In a statement released by the brand on Saturday morning, the 90-year-old designer is 'recovering at home' and 'will not be present at the two shows as he usually is'. According to la Repubblica, his absence comes after a brief stint in hospital. Speaking to the Guardian in January, the man known in Italy as 'Re Giorgio' (King George), said that 'age is undoubtedly a factor to contend with'. While he would 'continue as long as my health and energy permit', he also said that 'taking a step back in the near future [was] inevitable'. Last year, the designer told the Corriere della Sera newspaper he planned to retire in the next few years regardless, but that the Armani brand would continue without him. In his first live show after the pandemic in 2021, Armani showed a scar from surgery to his arm that resulted from a fall during a visit to the cinema. In the current fashion landscape, which is dominated by conglomerates such as LVMH and Kering, Armani is one of the few designers to remain the sole shareholder of his company while also overseeing every single collection produced in its 50-year history. A recent valuation by Forbes suggested the Armani group was worth £10bn. The designer, who turns 91 next month, is widely credited with transforming stiff suiting for men, getting women into menswear and bringing Italian style to Hollywood. It is thought he is missing this weekend's shows as a precautionary measure so he is able to attend the couture – or Privé – show next month in Paris. One of the Milanese's key contributions to high fashion has been his invention – and reinvention – of celebrity dressing, with Hollywood's bold and beautiful, including Julia Roberts, Cate Blanchett and Angelina Jolie, all wearing his couture gowns on the red carpet. Taking the requisite designer bow at the end of Saturday's Emporio Armani show and Monday's Giorgio Armani show will be Leo Dell'Orco, his collaborator and head of menswear design. The statement also confirmed that Armani had worked 'with his usual dedication' on both collections, and that he plans to watch the shows. As yet, there is no obvious heir to the Armani throne.

Cara Delevingne and Emma Corrin cut trendy figures as they join glam Amelia Dimoldenberg for The Ministry of Lesbian Affairs afterparty
Cara Delevingne and Emma Corrin cut casually stylish figures as they joined Amelia Dimoldenberg on Friday for The Ministry of Lesbian Affairs afterparty in London. The play, which is running at the Kiln Theatre until July 12, is a response to a perceived lack of representation lesbians receive in popular culture. Celebrating the show, Cara, who identifies as queer and pansexual, cut a trendy figure a pair of black baggy cargo trousers, a cropped white shirt and trainers. The model, 32, accessorised her outfit with a camouflage print baseball cap and blue rucksack and appeared to be in excellent spirits. She was joined at the star-studded afterparty by fellow actor Emma Corrin, 29, who is queer and non-binary. Emma, who uses they/them pronouns, opted for an equally casual fit, donning a red vest top with an intricate horse design and a pair of blue jeans. They accessorised with a simple black shoulder bag and a thin necklace. Amelia, 31, was also in attendance and she cut a glamorous figure in a long black skirt, patterned black T-shirt and studded ballet pumps. The Chicken Shop Date host toted her essentials in a simple black shoulder bag as she posed for the cameras. Elsewhere, model Adwoa Aboah, 32, kept it low-key in a plaid T-shirt and black shorts, which she teamed with a leopard-print bag. Olivier-nominated theatre director Hannah Hauer-King cut a stylish figure in a white top and trousers as she posed alongside Cara. Opening up about her sexuality, Cara recently admitted that she struggled with internalised shame because of the influence of preceeding generations. She said that, growing up, she was given the impression that her parents would feel like they had 'done something wrong' if they had a gay child. Cara told The Times: 'It's a generational thing. I don't think it was their fault at all. The model, 32, accessorised her outfit with a camouflage print baseball cap and blue rucksack and appeared to be in excellent spirits Model Adwoa Aboah, 32, kept it low-key in a plaid T-shirt and black shorts, which she teamed with a leopard-print bag 'It's just how it was. I think a lot of parents thought, "Oh, if I have a gay child, I have done something wrong."' Cara has had high-profile relationships with women in the past, having dated musician St Vincent and actor Ashley Benson. Speaking on the Make it Reign podcast with Josh Smith in 2021, she said Pride Month, which takes place every June, should be about 'choosing love'. She said: 'That's what I think Pride needs to be about. It's just love, love for your partner, love for your neighbour, love for yourself more importantly, and loving people you don't know either. 'Like, it just doesn't have to be something you talk about where it's just about a relationship. 'It can just be about a stranger, you know, having empathy and compassion for all people.'
