A flirting scandal has blown up on The Block between Brad and Kylie Baker, and fans have been flocking to social media to share their thoughts on the situation.
If you’re not yet caught up on the drama, here is a rundown of it all.
What happened with Brad and Kylie on The Block?
So, as fans of The Block will know, the drama began when The Block contestant Mimi Belperio visited Brad and Kylie for a drink.
What went down is that Kylie went to take a nap, and in the room nearby, Brad flirted with Mimi. Brad, in his own words, shared he said “inappropriate” things to Mimi. According to The Daily Mail, this included telling his fellow contestant that he would follow her OnlyFans.
Kylie overheard the whole incident and quickly packed up her things and left the show. In a clip shared by Nine, Kylie is seen speaking with her mother on the phone about having given Brad numerous chances before.
In a message left on Kylie’s phone for The Block, she said, “Alright, so I’m saying goodbye. I can’t be on national television having my marriage breaking down. So I’m going home, and I can’t say I’ll be returning.
“You can talk to Brad about the details, but unfortunately, I can’t do it anymore. Thank you for the opportunity, and I’m sorry I can’t stay until the end, I’m just not strong enough anymore.”
Another clip shared by Nine shows Kylie speaking with cafe staff (presumably on the set of The Block). One barista asked Kylie, “Are you done? Checked out? This is it.”
Kylie replied, “I’m just broken.”
Following this, Brad spoke with producers of The Block, admitting, “I’d very much say that I’ve just single-handedly destroyed my family.”
The major disruption comes after fellow The Block contestants Maddy and Charlotte spoke with Allan & Carly on Hit WA and alluded to something serious going down on the show.
When asked about cheating rumours, Charlotte shared, “Look, I think that will all get revealed in the next couple of weeks”.
“We don’t want to speak on it specifically because it’s people’s real lives, and we weren’t obviously there, so we don’t know full details, but, yeah, something happened, but we’re probably not the right people to speak on it,” Maddy added.

How are fans of The Block reacting?
In short, you could say audiences of the show have reacted strongly. Many people have criticised Brad’s behaviour on The Block, with others sharing that they dislike Kylie regardless of how her husband has treated her.
Things online are heated, that’s for sure.

If he’s willing to do it on a national television show like #theblock I bet he’s got loooooong history of screwing around. pic.twitter.com/1ZYTbPwJVV

Major yikes about this whole situation yes Kylie sucks but no one deserves to be disrespected like that especially on a national tv program. Also Mimi is just as bad if not worse she was the one flirting x 104838 #theblock

I suppose we’ll have to wait and see what happens next, but we can assume it’s going to be intense!
