Why two of Australia’s biggest stars did not attend the Logies.

The 2024 TV Week Logie Awards have wrapped up for another year, but some of Australia's biggest stars gave it a miss.

Logies OG Karl Stefanovic didn't attend. What excuse did the TV king have? Apparently he was out celebrating his 50th birthday in Sydney. 

Another staple of the TV world, Abbie Chatfield, was also a no-show. She stunned last year in a black number, posing with Tony Armstrong, and many had hoped Abbie would turn up this year with her boyfriend, DJ Adam Hyde.

But alas, there was no Abbie in sight. 

"I'm not going. I don't want to work for free, too much faff. It's so much faff!" she told Yahoo Lifestyle. "Adam gets home from his shows at five o'clock, so I'll be getting him from the airport and probably having dinner at home and we'll go to the movies or something."

The reality star giving the TV Week Logie Awards a miss could have something to do with her show Fboy Island missing out on a nomination.

When the new season premiered, a fan joked that Abbie was dressed as a Logie in a gorgeous bronze dress. In response, Abbie posted on an Instagram Story "If only we were nominated for anything! Robbed!' the 29-year-old wrote.

Other notable names who didn't attend the Logies were Sunrise host David Koch, as earlier this year he announced he was departing the morning show. 

Daily Mail reported that Sylvia Jeffreys, Kerri-Anne Kennerley and Ricki Lee-Coulter also wouldn't be making an appearance at the Logies.

Last year, Kyle Sandilands didn't attend the awards even though he was expected to host. For 2024, he still had zero plans to show up despite Australian Idol being nominated.

He admitted on The Kyle and Jackie O Show that he "just can’t be bothered". Huge mood. 

In June, former Gold Logie nominee Chrissie Swan claimed she had been snubbed by the event’s organisers. 

"I don't think I'm invited this year. I think this is the first year I haven't been invited in years," she said on her Nova radio show.
