She's followed in the footsteps of fellow Geordie Sophie Kasaei and bagged herself an Essex boy
The worlds of TOWIE and Geordie Shore collided at the end of 2022 when Jordan Brook and Sophie Kasaei confirmed they were an item and it seems that Essex boys and Geordie girls are a match made in heaven as Sophie’s pal Abbie Holborn has just gone public with one of Jordan’s co-stars.
No, it’s not Roman Hackett, who Abbie had 'a kiss and a fumble' with back in September 2023 – he’s loved up with Love Island’s Matilda Draper, of course.
Abbie is actually dating Jack Rigden, Jordan’s best friend who appeared alongside him on series 20 and 21 of the ITVBe show back in 2017.
The reality star confirmed she and Jack were an item on Valentine’s Day when she shared a series of romantic clips of them together on TikTok with the caption, ‘I love.’
She’s now spoken out about their relationship and teased that they could be taking a HUGE step together in the not-too-distant future.
Speaking about the start of their ‘unexpected’ love story, Abbie said, ‘So we actually met, obviously, when Sophie and Jordan got together because he's Jordan's best friend. So we've actually known each other for about two years.’
‘We've just been friends. And then it kind of at the back end of last year, really just grew into something more. I think I really like the fact that we're friends first as well.
‘He's always said he's had a bit of a soft spot for me and he would always compliment me, but I always just thought like, you know, he's just being nice,’ Abbie told The Sun.
The pair are now officially boyfriend and girlfriend and Abbie admitted that she could follow in bestie Sophie’s footsteps and move down to Essex.
She said, ‘I would definitely consider [a move] in the future. It's funny because even though I travel so much and I am always away from home, I've never actually left the nest or left my family home so it would be a big deal to eventually move.
‘But I've got all my friends down there and work's down there so I think it probably, you know, would be something in the future, for sure.’
