Channel Nine’s beloved renovation series The Block is set to make a triumphant return to TV screens later this year, marking two decades since its initial premiere.
Last week, host Scott Cam, 61, was spotted with the five teams of the upcoming series, shooting a promo video at a scenic beach on Phillip Island in Victoria.
In the lively scenes, Scott enjoyed the company of the ten contestants as they reveled on the sand and struck poses in their work attire.
Cam sported a relaxed look for the day, donning a loose-fitting white shirt paired with brown shorts, while engaging in playful banter with the contestants.
Meanwhile, glimpses from the shoot revealed the ten fresh-faced contestants organised into five teams, comprising of six men and four women.

Each team donned color-coordinated outfits to distinguish themselves, separated into team blue, red, yellow, green and purple.
The yellow team, consisting of two strapping men in their late 20s, showcased their strength as they confidently strolled through the water carrying paint tins and rollers.
Meanwhile, the red team were seen lovingly embracing as a man wrapped his arms around his female companion.

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.

‘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.
