Monday night’s episode of The Block took an unexpected turn when contestant Kylie Baker abruptly left the show following a confrontation with her husband, Brad, over his flirtation with fellow contestant Mimi.
Kylie’s departure, leaving Brad to continue the competition alone, sparked speculation about the state of their marriage, which Brad later admitted was in trouble.
The drama began on Saturday night when Mimi, a South Australian contestant competing with her husband Kristian, visited Brad and Kylie’s home to share a bottle of wine.
During the visit, Brad and Kristian chatted while Kylie rested, and Brad acknowledged that his behavior crossed a line.
He later admitted that his flirtatious comments, overheard by Kylie, were inappropriate and upsetting to her.
In a candid statement, Kylie revealed her profound disappointment, sharing that she felt both “disgusted and sad.”
In a phone call with her mother, she expressed her emotional distress, with her mother advising her to consider how many chances she had given Brad in the past.
Host Scott Cam informed the remaining contestants of Kylie’s sudden exit, explaining that she had left the building site under the pretense of a flooring consultation earlier in the day and did not return.
Cam assured contestants that the team had done everything possible to locate her.
When questioned about the permanence of Kylie’s departure, Brad expressed regret, stating, “I would say that I have destroyed my family.”
The incident is one of the most dramatic moments in The Block‘s history, leaving viewers and contestants alike reeling.
