The Block star flashes crotch on freezing red carpet

This star of The Block battled freezing temps last night to make a bold statement. It ended with him almost revealing his … block.

A renovator turned fashionista from The Block gave Sydney pedestrians the ol’ razzle dazzle at last night’s opening of the musical Chicago when he flashed his crotch … and all that jazz.

Mitch Edwards and Mark McKie, who appeared on the Channel 9 home design show in 2019, led the starry arrivals at the Capital Theatre and braved the winter chill to shimmy-shake for the cameras.

Not deterred by the plunging temperatures, Mitch shivered in a pair of body-baring lace pants but made sure to cover his whoopee spot with a pair of skimpy black briefs.

Other stars rushed to rouge their knees and pull their stockings down upon arrival.

Internet personality Tom Gay crashed the red carpet and performed an impromptu strip tease, pealing off his PVC coat to reveal a leather harness strapped across his bare chest.

Actress Renae Berry left her coat, along with TV heart-throb husband Rodger Corser, at home. And performer Erin Clare risked a near malfunction when she pledged to “get the girls out” in a slinky low-cut black dress.

But not everyone was prepared to flash the flesh. Former federal speaker Bronwyn Bishop was given the ol’ flim-flam flummox when she tottled onto the red carpet only to find her fellow guests were wearing outfits that were seemingly made out of Mister Cellophane himself.

Bron almost choppered in fur coats from her personal closet just to keep everyone covered up.

The long-running Broadway musical returns to Aussie stages with a cast of local TV favourites. Packed To The Rafters star Zoë Ventoura headlines as the cunning and iconic Velma Kelly while Kath And Kim’s Peter Rowsthorn delights as the gullible and hapless husband of murderer Roxy Hart.
