It was a heartbreaking conclusion to The Block and when we thought it couldn’t get worse, favourites Tom and Sarah-Jane have admitted they will need to take drastic measures after spending a large chunk of their own savings.
The couple’s five-bedroom and three-bathroom country home earned a mere $20,000.99 over the reserve. Sarah later confessed on Instagram the couple will need to sell their new car.

Tom and Sarah-Jane won the $80,000 Ford Ranger following their success in Landscape Week.
Following the “disappointing” sale, the couple revealed to Nine that they had spent “more than $20,000 of our savings” to participate in the renovation show.

Despite the results and watching their co-stars Oz and Omar walk away with a record breaking $1.6 million in prize money, the pair remained grateful for the opportunity.
“A BIG F—–G THANK YOU to everyone who watch Tom and I’s journey and showed us so much love and support!” Sarah wrote on Instagram.
“We honestly had the best time and have zero regrets.

“Even if we walked away with nothing we had the experience of a lifetime and something we can tell our grandkids about! Are we disappointed sure but nothing is ever guaranteed.
“At this point I think we’ll be fully over it by Tuesday. There’s bigger issues in the world. Love to you all,” she concluded.
Sarah also thanked her partner and “baby daddy” Tom for “working like a crazy man” to give their family the best opportunities possible.
“I love you and I’m proud of how you kicked @theblock’s a*s,” she said.
