SCOTTY VS SHELLEY

The Block star is betrayed by his co-host

- 

Billionaire Block buyer Adrian Portelli came out swinging against both Scotty Cam and the show last week after the Block host claimed they'd asked the businessman to step aside this season to “give mums and dads the opportunity to have a crack at a Block house... If Adrian comes and buys the lot of them, that rules them out.”

“To be honest we said to Adrian, ‘We’d love you not to come next year, if that’s all right,’” he claimed during a radio interview. “We just said, ‘Mate, thank you, you’ve been a wonderful patron of our show, would you mind having a rest?’”

But Adrian – who purchased all the Block houses last season for $15.3 million – wasn’t having it! “Scotty, you’re talking porkies,” Adrian, 35, wrote on social media alongside an image of Scott wearing a clown wig. “I told you guys I was leaving. There was never a conversation of being told to sit out of this season... I’ve got a better idea.” [see box]

“The reno [game’s] looking a little dusty. Time for a fresh coat. The gloves are off.”

But the biggest sting for Scotty was yet to come.

Rather than slam Adrian for his comments, Scotty’s co-host of more than 20 years, Shelley Craft, 49, showed support for the rewards club LMCT+ owner’s new show and decision to move on.
