New Block contestants bring eye candy to Hampton cul-de-sac ‘eye sore’

Nine has taken a deep dive into the pool of past reality wannabes to come up with some eye candy for the next series of The Block.

Love Island contestants Luke and Josh are joining The Block.

It was always going to be NIMBY when The Block moved into Hampton.

Bayside types like things just so. Just ask Karen from Braaaahton.

The golden coiffured ladies with pastel pink pedicures might say one thing in polite company, but very much the other behind a closed door.

When the G&Ts start tinkling the voices get shrill. Who are these “riff raff” who have taken over their sleepy cul-de-sac as filming on the new series gets underway?

Or is it just the ones whose houses haven’t been bought for an eye-watering sum by The Block’s crafty creator Julian Cress.

“There is just so much ruckus, constant ruckus and drilling,” exclaimed a nearby resident when Page 13 popped in.

“And it’s all a bit of an eyesore,” she said sourly.

Eyesore? On the contrary.

Nine has taken a deep dive into the pool of past reality wannabes to come up with some eye candy.

None other than beefed-up Love Island Australia season two twins “Luke and Josh.”

There are plenty of shirtless shots of the boys and expect more.

Former contestants Ronnie and Georgia have been spotted on the new site.

Along with other former contestants Mitch & Mark.

We’re told the only way to tell the lads apart is a birthmark on one twin’s nipple.

The Block’s 2017 Elsternwick series contestants Ronnie and Georgia have also been seen on set competing, along with fellow Blockheads, Mitch and Mark from the 2019 Oslo series.

Back on Bayside, it all depends what side of the Bronte Court fence you sit.

Some are thrilled house values might go up while others are smarting that not all Brighton streets are likely to be lined with gold.
