As pressure rises and tempers flare on The Block, who walk’s out and whose marriage is in crisis?
Walking onto The Block was a dream come true for married couple, Jenna and Chris.
But now it seems the pressure of competing on a reality TV show and keeping up appearances has put a massive strain on their relationship.
“We’re definitely still married,” Jenna said.
The duo’s relationship is said to have reached boiling point when an angry Chris, 24, walked off set, claiming his wife of four years hadn’t supported him as their renovation was put on hold.

“The Block would never have broken us as a couple- we’re married and we’re in it to the end, no matter what’s chucked at us,” Chris said.
“We’re best friends but there are always going to be things we fight about.”
And when the pair come to blows this week on the show over a surfacing issue, it has everyone on edge.
“You could cut the air with a knife,” host Scott Cam said.
“You don’t expect it from them.”
Meanwhile, it seems lovebirds Karstan and Maxine are stronger than ever! The pair from Newcastle recently shared the story of Karstan’s big proposal and revealed they are keen to have a family.
“I’d teed up a skydiving trip with friends in Byron Bay and I was going to propose in the plane. I’d say ‘Will you marry me?’ and then jump out…and put the ring on her finger when we got to the ground.
But things didn’t go according to plan.
“It rained, so they called it all off,” Karstan, revealed.
Though, the 27-year-old, who is no doubt used to challenging conditions being a coal miner, didn’t let it dampen his plans to pop the big question.
“The next morning I went, ‘Bugger it, I’ve waited so long, I’m doing it anyway!” he said.
“So we drove to Byron Bay lookout before sunrise and teed up a little spot for a champagne breakfast. When the sun came up, I said, ‘Will you be mine forever?’ She said yes!”
Maxine, 25, is now looking forward to tying the knot and can’t wait to have children.
“We can’t wait to have a family night and show our kids The Block and I can say ‘Look at your dad being silly.’
The same can’t be said for their fellow renovating pals and this series biggest competitors, Darren and Deanne.
Despite being accused of having a home town advantage, the Melbourne couple come under fire this week following a clash with laid-back larrikins, Simon and Shannon.
Making matters worse, Deanne, 42, has been labelled the contestant everyone loves to hate and according to a Block insider, the mother-of-three has been caught out “whinging about everything and is driving everyone mad”.
