It’s no secret that tensions have been running high between The Block’s Ankur and Sharon and host Scott Cam.
Things came to a breaking point when the carpenter told the couple they needed an “attitude change” when it came to their workload.
Speaking exclusively to TV WEEK, Sharon described Scotty as a “grumpy old man”.
The reality star also confirmed Scott hasn’t apologised since the run in.

In spite of all the backlash the couple have been receiving, Sharon says she and Ankur and glad to be a beacon of representation for Indian culture, saying she didn’t see that type of visibility while growing up.
Last week on The Block, Ankur and Sharon reached breaking point as they admitted they were overwhelmed by the workload, having several run-ins with their builders in the process. It all culminated in Foreman Keith questioning their work ethic.
“How are we going to continue working at this ridiculous rate and pace and expectation and pressure, and look after ourselves in the process?” Sharon said.
After the couple took a night away to clear their heads, Scott Cam and Shelley Craft checked in on the pair to see how they were going.

“You made the comment, and with a lot of language, ‘Seven more weeks of this nonsense and we can get out of this hellhole’,” he said.
“No one’s keeping you here and you can go anytime you like. This is not compulsory.”
An emotional Sharon confessed she thought they were given “unrealistic expectations” before Ankur claimed they’d resolved their issues with the builders.

Despite Scott and Shelley assuring the couple they were trying to find a solution that worked for everybody, Sharon and Ankur left the site.
“I reckon we just quit,” Ankur said as they got in their car
“I can’t believe they just did that to us,” Sharon added, saying: “Nobody here cares about us,” before taking down the camera.
