Married At First Sight star Dave Hand has been spotted on the set of The Block in Daylesford, just weeks after his romance with Jamie Marinos played out on TV.
The Melbourne tradie, 36, has returned to his day job, landing a gig on the high-stakes renovation series thanks to a chance message from a construction worker.
‘A tiler messaged me randomly on my work account asking if I could work. I go, “Yeah, no worries at all … Will they care that it is me?” and he goes “Who are you?”,’ Dave told the Herald Sun.
‘I said I had just come off MAFS and he said, “I don’t watch it.”.’
Dave added it was an incredibly emotional experience returning to the set of a Channel Nine reality TV show.
‘I rocked up to site and I see all my producers from MAFS there. I got teary eyed, it was like an emotional reunion. They were like, “What are you doing here?” and I said, “I am here to work”,’ Dave explained.

Dave shared a heartwarming photo to social media which captured him in a high-vis shirt posing alongside The Block foremen Dan Reilly and Adrian Cursio.
He told Yahoo Lifestyle while he would not be featured on the upcoming series of The Block, he had not ruled out a future appearance.
‘I have other goals I’m currently focused on. Dave on The Block does sound pretty cool though,’ he joked.
It comes after Dave broke his silence on whether he would start an OnlyFans page.
The builder recently hosted a Q&A session on social media and was asked by a follower if he would consider starting an adult subscription page.
Dave was firm on his answer: ‘I thought about it, but decided not to do it sorry.’
He then clapped back against a fan who asked a very inappropriate request of him.
‘Can you please pour coconut water all over yourself topless?’ the fan asked, to which Dave sniped: ‘I like coconut water that much I will do it… but recording it is another thing.

‘A bath in some coconut water? Sign me up!’
Dave’s TV wife Jamie Marinos shocked fans when she revealed her once blossoming relationship with Dave ended in him ‘ghosting’ her after the show wrapped.
Jamie is now rumoured to be involved with fellow MAFS groom Eliot Donovan.
The fan-favourites appeared to have a true love connection early on in the series, and while their romantic connection ultimately fell apart, the towering tradie was adamant he wanted to stay in his bride’s life.
However, Jamie, 28, has now revealed Dave couldn’t make good on his promises and put no effort into maintaining their friendship outside the experiment.
‘Dave was really big on, “I don’t want to lose you and I don’t want to lose this friendship,” she told Yahoo Lifestyle.
‘I truly believe he really wanted me in his life, but he did kind of ghost me a bit after the reunion.
‘I was contacting him. I was like, “You’re the one that was really keen on having me in your life.” When I called him out on it, we kind of got to a better place, but he had made no effort to see me.’
She went on to say watching the show back made her believe Dave only promised a ‘lacklustre friendship’ to maintain a positive public image with viewers.
