The Block is being rocked with claims that contestants have already walked off the job two weeks into filming.
Shooting for the Channel Nine show, which is underway at Phillip Island, has been disrupted by a couple leaving the series, Yahoo Lifestyle reports.
‘A couple have left. They were definitely not kicked off the show though, it was on their own accord’ an alleged source told the publication this week.
The source claimed that the drama will ‘unfold’ on the show and there is no news on whether the couple was recast.
If contestants have indeed quit, it will be the second time the series has been rocked with a premature exit.

Influencer Elle Ferguson and her boyfriend, former AFL player Joel Patfull, quit The Block days after filming started back on the 2022 season.
The beloved renovation series is set to make a triumphant return to TV screens later this year, marking two decades since its initial premiere.
Nine has confirmed that only five teams will be competing to convert five properties on the former Island Cove Villas on Phillip Island.
Daily Mail Australia can reveal a Channel Nine-owned company purchased Island Cove Villas for a whopping $9.5million.
Situated two-and-a-half hours from Melbourne, the site currently features nine homes, a communal pool, a BBQ pavilion, tennis court and a children’s playground.

It comes after the genius tactic 2023 winner Steph and Gian Ottavio employed threatened to derail the 2024 season of the Channel Nine series, as future contestants may attempt to follow in their footsteps.
Speaking with Daily Mail Australia on Monday, Steph and Gian revealed their foolproof strategy to win the renovation show.
‘When we got the call that we were on The Block in February, the first thing we did, I think three days later, we called Tom Panos our auctioneer,’ they said.
They continued: ‘He was the first person we called and engaged, and people probably wouldn’t think that.’
The tactic paid off tenfold with the Sydney couple taking home The Block crown when they sold their Hampton East house for $5million.
The western Sydney mates landed a shocking $1.6million in profits when they sold their Gisborne home during season 18 of the Block in 2022.
