The Block 2024’s co-creator and executive producer, Julian Cress, has given some insight into where Mimi and Kylie stand after the show’s explosive cheating scandal.
ICYMI, Kylie sensationally quit The Block after she overheard her husband, Brad, flirting with their co-star Mimi. Kylie later returned to the renovation show. However, she made it clear to Brad that they were no longer together.
“If I give up, we’d get nothing, so even if it’s ten grand, I’m taking half, and I’m leaving your arse,” she told him.
While Kylie has confronted Brad on the show, viewers are yet to see where Mimi and Kylie’s friendship stands after the scandal.
However, Julian revealed that Kylie’s beef wasn’t with Mimi, adding that he believes that the two contestants won’t have issues being around each other at The Block auction.
“They’ve seen each other since – they should be OK,” he told TV Week. “It’s Brad who’ll have to tiptoe around and make sure he’s not in the firing line.”
However, the show’s creator added that he’s not sure whether Kylie and Brad will choose to attend the auction.
“I don’t think Brad knows Kylie enough to predict whether she’ll come. They have a pretty volatile relationship,” he said.
Julian Cress hints that Jesse and Paige will profit from The Block
While Julian was spilling the tea about Brad, Kylie and Mimi, he hinted that Jesse and Paige — who quit The Block in week five — may make a return.
The WA couple chose to leave after Paige struggled with mental health problems, and Victorian sisters Maddy and Charlotte joined the show in their place.
A source previously told Yahoo Lifestyle that Jesse and Paige wouldn’t receive any of the auction profits despite contributing four finished rooms to House One.
“Producers have advised them that it is in their contract that they can’t split money with other contestants. The reason being that it promotes collusion and that could affect future seasons,” the source said.
However, Julian told TV Week that Jesse and Paige will receive some form of compensation.
“Maddy and Charlotte will take home whatever profit they make above their reserve. But without going into detail, Jesse and Paige won’t leave the show empty-handed for the work they’d done,” he said.
With just a handful of episodes to go until The Block auctions, we can’t wait to see how everything plays out.
The Block 2024 finale auction will air on Sunday, November 10 on Channel 10 and 10Play.
