The Amazing Race's Anastasia tells Why I dumped Chris

The newly single contestant spills the beans on her romance and reveals she’s no angel herself!.

Together they pulled a pint-sized princess through Prague and downed doughnuts in Amsterdam on The Amazing Race Australia. Now, struggling couple Anastasia Drimousis and Chris Pselletes have called time on their fiery relationship – and she is thrilled!

“We don’t miss each other at all,” Anastasia, 22, tells Woman’s Day. “A couple of weeks ago we sat down and laid everything on the table. We both decided not to continue [the relationship], and go forth as friends instead. There wasn’t even a lot of crying.” Audiences have been howling for the Sydney nutrition student to walk away from her boyfriend of three years since scenes showing Chris, 23, berating and insulting Anastasia went to air last month.

“Daddy never spanked you when he should have,” he taunted during one argument. Far from feeling victimised, Anastasia has moved on from their toxic partnership without much fanfare. “I don’t want to be a poster girl for those kinds of relationships,” she insists.

“A lot of girls have gone through tough relationships and they need to look up to someone who has been through what they have. I want to be a role model for people who want to be happy in their lives.” With their wedding called off, Anastasia is looking for love again – with someone the exact opposite of dictatorial Chris.
