Curtis, AJ's brother, asked Abbie to share her story on the podcast.
She began by explaining how she found out about the hitman.
Abbie was half way through a pantomime performance with AJ when she noticed she had a bunch of missed calls from a friend.

When she called her back, her friend explained that her email had been hacked.
She said somebody had sent a message to a hitman company, offering up to £20,000 to have Abbie killed.
Abbie admitted it was, "The scariest thing that's definitely ever happened to [her]."

The email
She added, "In the email, they stated where I was, which was the Grove Theatre, they stated the postcode."
"They said if you can't do it on this particular day at this particular time, they listed the whole of AJ Live tour."
Abbie was set to join AJ on his tour after the pantomime.

"You honestly see this stuff on movies and in the media and you never ever would expect it to happen to you," she said.
Abbie's friend went to the police about it, but there was very little they could do for her.
She said, "Because it's the dark web, it was really hard for them to trace."

Curtis revealed when they went on the AJ Live tour, they had to let every venue know about the situation.
As a result, they were forced to hire extra security and protection for Abbie.
She said her friend who's email was hacked was in, "quite a bad state with it."

Her family's reaction
Abbie added, "My family were shocked too."
"I did play it down to them slightly as I didn’t want them to come running to where I was."
Curtis and Abbie went on to chat about online trolling.

She admitted, "I’ve had a few comments on my pictures where people write, 'Die,' 'I hate you,' and, 'Why are you still here?'"
"Honestly, it’s the worst thing as I actually do read them, which is bad as AJ tells me not to."
"You can’t believe there is someone at the end of their phone or laptop writing that."
