Scott Cam, Shelley Craft and a new batch of contestants have been spotted on site at The Block 2021 – which means filming has begun!
Confirmed details about this year’s season remain hard to come by, however producers revealed in late 2020 that Bronte Court, a quiet cul de sac in the bayside Melbourne suburb of Hampton would be this season’s setting.
Dedicated Block fans – who have been keeping a watchful eye over the site for months – noticed a stir at the property last week as a mix of familiar faces and new contestants began to arrive.
Some of the familiar faces spotted include past contestants Mitch and Mark (who came fifth place during the 2019 season of The Block) and Ronnie and Georgia (who originally appeared on the 2017 season of The Block).
Also spotted were identical twins Luke and Josh Packham, who you might recognise from their appearance on Love Island Australia in 2019. Josh even went on to pocket his share of $50,000 when he and fellow contestant Anna McEvoy took out the win on Love Island.
While Luke and Josh may be newcomers to The Block, they certainly aren’t newcomers to the property game. When they’re not appearing on reality television, Josh works as a mortgage broker and Luke is a synthetic grass installer.
Whoever the remaining ‘fan’ couples are, one thing is certain: they’ll need to bring their A-game to compete with seasoned Block competitors like Mitch and Mark and Ronnie and Georgia.
