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.'
From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop.
'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.'

Beautiful beach-side all-inclusive hotel, with stunning swim-up rooms, fabulous food and incredible cocktails
WHEN you choose to slip a descriptive adjective into a name, you'd better make sure everything lives up to the billing. The late, great MARVELOUS Marvin Hagler fought his corner as undisputed middleweight boxing champion. 12 12 Footballer BRIGHT Osayi-Samuel justified his name to star under Jose Mourinho at Fenerbahce in Turkey. So when we headed for the Sherwood EXCLUSIVE Kemer on Turkey's Mediterranean, we had high hopes. Fortunately, it did produce the X-Factor and completely live up to its lavish title. The trip to the Sherwood Exclusive Kemer began with a direct flight from Glasgow to Antalya before an hour-long transfer from the airport. We'd stayed in the town of Kemer in the past but this was definitely a step up in class. Located right on the beach in Goynuk — just outside Kemer — it had everything for a relaxing break for couples or families. 12 12 12 The difference from the rest? What marked it down as truly Exclusive? Well, the design and layout of the gorgeous hotel is the first thing that struck my wife Fiona and I. It's not some high-rise city hotel with balconies in the clouds. The Sherwood Exclusive has an airy reception and lobby bar to greet you on arrival. Rooms are located in three-storey buildings dotted around luscious, green grounds. Our accommodation was on the ground-floor, a swim-up room with plush sun loungers just outside the patio doors and a short step into the very inviting pool. I took my family to the new Nickelodeon Land in Turkey with rides and character meets - here's how to get free entry The pools are located all around the grounds, and are all equipped with pool bars for residents. The main pool is close to the hotel's seafront boardwalk and served by a huge pool bar. Espresso Martinis were the afternoon cocktail of choice here. Only once the sun was over the yardarm, you understand. The beach — 500 metres of sand and pebble for hotel residents only — is just a short walk away sitting in the shadow of the imposing Taurus Mountains. 12 12 No interruptions, no one trying to flog you anything. Just you, your book and maybe a cocktail or two. Comfy sun loungers line the Sherwood Exclusive's private beach and, of course, all are served by a beach bar. For the really adventurous, you can stride out to the hotel's own pier and — again — it has a bar over the water for those catching the rays. The weather was much better than we'd expected in late April. It was in the low 20s with just one spot of rain in the middle of our week-long stay. But having holidayed in the area in high summer in years gone by — both Kemer and Lara Beach — you're virtually guaranteed dawn to dusk blistering sunshine during June, July, August and September. Fiona's day would begin at 9am with yoga. Mine began with yoghurt. Normally accompanied by fresh fruit and granola. Plus a little something from the hot buffet. Well, the friendly staff in the kitchen worked so hard that I didn't want to disappoint them. And here's another aspect of the place which backed up their EXCLUSIVE name. This was the BEST buffet we've experienced on our travels to Turkey. A huge selection, fresh fruit and salads, different and varied main course options and delicious sweet treats. But perhaps most importantly for Fiona — a Gluten-free diner — there were loads of options and everything was well marked with that crucial 'GF' seal of approval. Buffet aside, there are four a la carte restaurants to satisfy every taste. The Waribashi Far East restaurant offers an Asian flavour, while the Mama Cocha caters for seafood lovers. But when in Kemer, we just had to try the Turquoise restaurant which offered local flavours from Turkish starter platters through delicious kebabs to the pastry, nut and honey sensation known as baklava. 12 12 12 We also dined at the Basilico Italian restaurant during our stay. The Chicken Parmigiana is to be recommended! And, once again, the Exclusive tag came to prominence at the Basilico when the chef specially cooked the Parmigiana to his own GF recipe for Fiona. With the belt feeling tighter by the day, it seemed sensible to attempt some athletic pursuit during our Turkish travels. 12 12 Yes, the on-site waterpark and splash park were great. And, in the interests of this feature, I felt compelled to have a go. Let's just say those flumes were a little too racy for a 53-year-old with a bad back and a diminishing sense of adventure . . . Another bottle of Efes from the all-inclusive bar was required to calm my nerves. Medicinal purposes only, of course. All the kids around the hotel seemed to love the flumes, though, and the presence of ANOTHER eatery right next to the waterparks (serving delicious pizza, burgers and snacks) meant they never had to stray far from the excitement. Aside from the watery delights, there was everything available from tennis, aerobics, water-skiing, basketball, water aerobics and even darts. The airy gym is also equipped with everything you need. But the pace of our break seemed far more suited to the Amon Spa, with its hammam and beauty treatments. Pack off your kids for face painting or other pursuits while you relax and get some well- deserved pampering. If retail therapy is your thing, though, you could either stroll into Goynuk's little shopping centre or head into Kemer. The bus stops right outside the Sherwood Exclusive and costs just £2 each way. While many head to Antalya for new hair or teeth (no, I didn't), there are also plenty who love the Turkish shopping scene for, er, 'designer gear'. We were sent with a shopping list by our daughter, Katie. And, of course, everything we brought her back was authentic. But back to the real authentic and EXCLUSIVE element of this holiday. It's always the little touches which make your break special. Like wandering into the shade to the hotel's all-inclusive coffee shop, ice cream parlour or waffle house. Like the little calls from guest relations to make sure everything is to your liking. Like the beachfront towel huts where you can grab the fluffiest, thickest towels for your spot on the pier. The Sherwood Exclusive was established just 11 years ago but already it's a jewel in the heart of Goynuk. With 492 rooms spread across its vast grounds, it offers a perfect holiday experience amid nature and stunning sea views. Just eating outside in the month of April was a special treat. It was marvellous, it was magnificent. You could even say it was EXCLUSIVE.

The £35 matte eyeshadow mature women are calling 'perfect on older skin': 'I've had compliments galore!'
A £35 matte eyeshadow palette that has been described as 'like applying silk' is being hailed 'perfect on older skin' by mature women.

Kate Middleton shares sweet message for Prince William's birthday - and reveals new puppies
Kate Middleton has shared a sweet birthday tribute to her husband Prince William as he celebrates turning 43-years-old today. The adorable image shows the heir sitting in a field, while playing with a group of small puppies, whose mother is believed to be Orla, the Wales' family dog. In the image, the father-of-three is dressed casually, wearing jeans paired with a long-sleeved green button down shirt, as the puppies crawl over him sweetly. The photograph is accompanied by a caption from the Princess of Wales and other members of their family. It says: 'Happy birthday! Love C, G, C, L, Orla and the puppies!' It follows an earlier tribute to William shared by his father King Charles, in which the monarch shared an unseen image of the heir as well as a sweet message via the Royal Family 's official X (formerly Twitter) account. In the somewhat casual photograph, the Prince of Wales is seen looking pensive as he sits outside in a rural setting. He is dressed in a button down pale blue shirt, as well as navy slacks - and in what may be a controversial move for some, he wears a very light beard. The image was accompanied by a simple caption which read: 'Happy Birthday to The Prince of Wales!'. The Prince of Wales has enjoyed a busy week in the lead-up to his birthday after last weekend's Trooping The Colour and joining the Royal Ascot carriage procession on Wednesday. However, he wasn't joined by his wife at the Berkshire racecourse as expected after she pulled out of the event at the 11th hour. She was said to be 'disappointed' at not attending the famous social and sporting occasion with her husband Prince William and the King and Queen. Racegoers had been hoping to see the Princess after the Prince of Wales was named as one of the figures awarding race prizes during the second day of the meet. Ascot officials had confirmed at 12pm that the Princess was due to be in the second carriage in the royal procession with William, in a published carriage list. But less than half an hour later, Kensington Palace confirmed just before 12.30pm that Kate would not be attending - and a revised carriage list was published by Ascot. MailOnline understands the Princess was 'disappointed' not to be in attendance 'but she has to find the right balance as she fully returns to public facing engagements'. In the past week Kate has attended three high-profile events - Trooping the Colour, the annual Order of the Garter service and a visit to a V&A storage facility in London. It is a tradition for senior royals to have their birthdays marked with the release of photographs and messages. Last year, Kate delighted royal watchers with the sweet portrait she shared to commemorate her husband's birthday. The fun portrait showed her husband excitedly leaping in the air with his three children. The image showed the family dressed in casual clothing - with William sporting a hoodie and shorts - as they grinned mid pose for the snap, taken by Kate in Norfolk in May 2024. Kate accompanied it with a caption that read: 'Happy birthday Papa, we all love you so much!.' The post comes almost after the Wales family were seen at Trooping the Colour - the annual celebration of the monarch's official birthday. William played a starring role in the event, riding on horseback alongside Princess Anne and the Duke of Edinburgh. And he was elaborately dressed for the occasion, donning the Full Ceremonial Guard Order of the Welsh Guards, and a bearskin hat. The prince also donned the Most Noble Order of the Garter Sash with the Lesser George and a Welsh Guards Sword. His outfit included his four, full size medals - the Gold, Diamond, and Platinum Jubilee medals, plus the Coronation Medal. Meanwhile, his wife and children travelled by carriage. Prince William Arthur Philip Louis of Wales was born second in line to the throne at St Mary's Hospital, Paddington, at 9.03pm on June 21 1982. He weighed 7lb 1 1/2oz and was the first-born son of the then-Prince and the Princess of Wales. At just nine months old, he accompanied his parents on a six-week official visit to Australia and New Zealand, which was a break from tradition with royal babies usually left at home in the care of nannies. His mother Diana, who separated from the then-Prince of Wales in 1992, died in a car crash in Paris in 1997. William was just 15 and his brother Prince Harry 12, and the boys walked behind the princess's coffin during a funeral procession through London. The prince met Kate Middleton at St Andrews University in Fife, and the pair married at Westminster Abbey in 2011 after dating for more than eight years. They welcomed their first child George in 2013, followed by Charlotte in 2015, and then Louis in 2018. After the death of the late Queen in 2022, the King announced in his first historic address that he had made William and Kate the new Prince and Princess of Wales. William has a long-running rift with his brother the Duke of Sussex, with no sign yet of a reconciliation. The fallout originated ahead of Harry's wedding to Meghan Markle, now the Duchess of Sussex, and worsened after the accusations Harry publicly levelled at his brother in his double tell-alls: his Netflix documentary and his memoir Spare. Despite years elapsing since that time, the once reportedly close siblings are still estranged from each other. Since becoming the Prince of Wales, William has kept himself busy with some major initiatives. In 2023, he launched Homewards, his five-year drive to eradicate homelessness in six locations around the UK. And he has continued to work on his other passion projects, which include raising mental health awareness, and the Earthshot Prize, his £50 million environmental competition to find solutions to help the planet.
