Every now and then, a former reality star who's pretty much slipped off the radar entirely pops back up again.
After Google search around former TOWIE star Abi Clarke peaked, we thought we'd take a look back at her time on TOWIE and what she's doing 11 years after quitting the show - and it turns out she's got a surprising new career.
Who is Abi Clarke?
There’s been almost 100 (yep, ONE HUNDRED) TOWIE cast members come and go over the past 32 series and there are some we remember more than others. For every Mark Wright, Gemma Collins and Joey Essex, there’s at least three Dean Ralphs, Grace Andrews' and Ruby Laceys. Exactly - who?
But cast your mind back to 2013 and Abi Clarke was one of the names making waves on the show thanks to her close friendship with Jasmin Walia and romances with James ‘Diags’ Bennewith and his best friend Tom Pearce.
Abi starred in just 26 episodes between series eight and ten in 2013.
How old is Abi Clarke?
The former TOWIE star is 32 years old. She was born on 6 July 1991.
Who has Abi Clarke dated?
During her two series stint on TOWIE, Abi dated Diags, Tom and James Lock. Unfortunately none of the relationships were meant to be.
She then publicly dated footballer Rob Davies but after they split and he reportedly told her to move out, she got the ultimate revenge.
Appearing on Channel 5's Betrayed... & He's Going to Pay she explained, "I took the bed, I took a massive six foot mirror, the dressing table, the lights, the curtain poles off the wall, the curtains, the rugs. I took literally everything.
"But the dog had weed on the sheet so I took the covers and just left the p***y sheet and a little pillow and thought, 'Have that love.'"
Abi then sparked rumours she was dating boxer Floyd Mayweather after they met while she was on a girls’ holiday in Las Vegas. At the time, a source revealed to The Sun, “Abi and Floyd really hit it off and she was blown away by his sense of humour and generosity. She was in a fragile and vulnerable place and Floyd has made her feel confident again.
“Although she knew about his reputation as a party animal, she’s been pleasantly surprised and discovered he’s actually a really lovely guy. He made sure they were friends first, before trying to take it further. He’s really helped mend her broken heart and heal her scars.”
The former TOWIE star then opened up to Closer magazine and said, "I met Floyd last year in Vegas... I've had a lot of relationships with high-profile men, I attract them – I don't know why.
"But I keep it quiet. I'll never be a kiss and tell girl."
However after he denied all the rumours, her spokesperson then said, "She is single and never said she was in a relationship with him in the first place."
Has Abi Clarke had a BBL?
In September 2017, Abi appeared to get a post-split makeover in the form of a Brazillian bum lift. She told Closer, “Whenever I go through break-ups I have surgery.
"I had a boob job after a split in 2012, then my lips, and this time I got a bum lift to feel more confident. The attention has been mad.
"If I walk down the street men nearly crash their cars, or they literally walk into things. It feels good."
What is Abi Clarke doing now?
It’s been a while since we’ve seen Abi on our screens as she left TOWIE behind after two series and despite rumours she was set for a major comeback in 2019, she’s actually left her reality TV career behind for an entirely new venture.
According to her Instagram bio, Abi is a hyperbaric oxygen specialist (no, us neither) and co-owns a north London-based health and beauty spa called breathe. The spa offers a combination of holistic and cosmetic treatments, which have been branded "magical" by customers.
Prior to her new career, Abi worked as a real estate agent in London after trading in TV to work in property. She clearly still has a lavish lifestyle despite quitting reality TV fame almost a decade ago and regularly shows off dinners at swanky London restaurants and luxury beach holidays to Greece, Dubai and Marbella on social media.
There’s hardly any sign of her TOWIE past either, with no photos with her pals from the show or mention of the show on her profile.
