Since the very beginning of the 2024 season, rumours have swirled that one couple quit The Block just weeks into filming.
Now, Block insiders have claimed that a second shock exit could be set to cause a major shake up.
The 2024 season of The Block may have only been airing for a few weeks, but since the very start it was rumoured that blue team Jesse Maguire and Paige Beechey would be departing the show early.
Ahead of their exit, Executive Producer Julian Cress claimed the pair left for a “strong reason” and in a “very dramatic” way.
The reason for Jesse and Paige’s early exit was confirmed to be as a result of the toll that the pressure of the competition had on Paige’s mental health. The engaged couple recently spoke to PEDESTRIAN.TV to debunk theories that they left the show to save their relationship.
The “relationship theory is not even close to the truth,” Paige said.
“We understand that [the producers’] narrative, shaped by their edits, might suggest otherwise – however the true reason won’t start to unfold until around week three, and even then, it won’t be played out on camera for the audience in true form.”
It’s safe to say the Western Australian natives had a tumultuous journey on The Block, and they were heard multiple times saying they were ready to pack up and leave.
They have been replaced by the pink team, Maddy and Charlotte, who are sisters from Sydney.
According to Daily Mail Australia, another couple may also quit the show before the season ends: green team Kylie and Brad.
“Kylie had an absolute meltdown at the end of week 12 and stormed off the set,” a production insider told Daily Mail.
“She flat-out refused to continue filming, and the pair didn’t even show up to finish their communal space in week 13.
“I’ve got no clue how the producers are going to handle this on screen or how they’ll edit around it,” they continued.
Their exit wouldn’t be the first in Block history, but it would be the first time a team leaves so far into the competition.
