Rumours are rife that Jesse and Paige will leave The Block 2024 mid-way through filming after the show’s executive producer confirmed that one team won’t make it to the end.
Engaged couple Jesse and Paige have had their differences throughout the first few weeks of the show, and Paige has repeatedly threatened to quit The Block.
Now, Paige has addressed the rumours directly.
Paige and Jesse slam claims they quit The Block to save their relationship
It’s been reported that Paige and Jesse quit The Block to save their relationship, however, the engaged couple have now dispelled that rumour to Pedestrian.
The WA team said the audience theory they left the show to save their relationship is “not even close to the truth”.
Which… seems to confirm the rumour that it is Paige and Jesse who leave.
Jesse and Paige didn’t go into detail about why they didn’t see the reality TV show through.
“We understand that [the producers’] narrative, shaped by their edits, might suggest otherwise – however the true reason won’t start to unfold until around week three, and even then, it won’t be played out on camera for the audience in true form,” Paige added.
What did Paige say on Instagram about quitting The Block?
Filming for The Block 2024 began in March 2024, and Paige and Jesse both posted photos while on a European vacation in late July, suggesting that they’d already left the show by then.
Paige took to Instagram on August 25 to share a screenshot of a post from a Facebook fan group where a user claimed that the couple left the show so that they could go on holiday.
“The real reason that Jesse/Paige leave is because they wanted to go to Europe and Cyprus for his 30th birthday. The show fell for it,” the post read.
Paige responded: “We were not prepared to give up our Euro Summer.”
That same day Paige did a Q&A session on Instagram and shared a question from a follower who asked if they really left the show “to go to Cyprus”.
Paige answered the question with a photo of herself and her friend holidaying in Europe.
“I would have done anything to go see this one,” she wrote. ” But leave The Block to go on a holiday… Come on.”
What did The Block’s executive producer say about the team that’s leaving?
EP Julian Cress has confirmed that one team will quit The Block before the end of the season, telling TV Tonight that they “didn’t make it through the whole series with all five teams.”
“It was a very difficult decision for them to come to, but there was a very strong reason why they decided to do it and very dramatic and will be unfolding in the coming weeks,” he added.
Yahoo Lifestyle has reported that Blue Team Jesse and Paige will hang up their tool belts early.
We can’t wait to see how this one plays out!
The Block airs on Sundays at 7pm and Mon – Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
