'STEPH & GAIN WE STAY IN OUR LANE!'

THE HIGH SCHOOL SWEETHEARTS ARE DETERMINED TO DISREGARD THE DRAMA

- Sara Tapia

As fans will know from years gone by, drama is never in short supply on The Block, especially as the weeks start to drag on. “This isn’t a show where you need to create [it],” House 4’s Gian tells WHO. “Delivering a room in seven days and trying to deliver the highest of standards … there’s gonna be drama naturally coming up.”

But this season has already seen tensions between contestants run at an all-time high from the get-go, with teams quickly clashing on set. “It’s a pressure cooker environment,” adds Steph.

As the youngest couple on The Block, the high school sweethearts, both 27, admit the drama that has unfolded over the past few weeks hasn’t exactly been mature. “Some of the conversations that have happened this season, we’re just like, ‘This is Year 12!’” Steph jokes of the squabbles.
