He’s the happy-go-lucky TV tradesman who has hosted The Block since 2010.
But rumours are swirling about Scott Cam’s future as host of the popular Channel Nine renovation show.
Triple M hosts Beau Ryan, Aaron ‘Woodsy’ Woods and Cat Lynch addressed the speculation on Monday after an anonymous caller claimed this could be Scott’s last season on The Block.
‘One of my mates was a tradie on The Block this season and the rumour going around within the production crew is that this was Scott Cam’s last season,’ the listener said.
Woodsy then questioned: ‘Is that Channel Nine moving Scotty Cam on, or is that Scotty Cam just pulling the pin?’
‘I don’t think Scott Cam would pull the pin. He’s on a fortune. I think he’s on over 2 million a year,’ Beau said.

‘It makes a lot of money for Channel Nine. So is it worth it, if they say “see you later” to Scotty Cam? Will it affect how many people watch the show?’
Woodsy added: ‘And everyone can relate with Scotty Cam. He’s an Aussie tradie, he’s a legend.’
It comes after the final auction on Sunday saw only three of the five homes reach their reserve price and get sold – two of which made only modest profits – and another two were turned in.
West Australian couple Britt and Taz took out the top sale of the day – offloading their stylish house for an impressive $3.41million.
With a reserve of $2.99million, the fan favourites walked away $420,000 richer – adding to that, a $100,000 bonus prize, netting them a total $520,000.
But it all went downhill from there.
Serial Block bidder Adrian Portelli was absent from proceedings, with the winning bid coming from an anonymous phone bidder, after a battle with Melbourne rich lister and IT entrepreneur, Danny Wallis.
Fellow renovators Robby and Mat’s property fetched $3.099million, netting the best mates a meagre $109,999 profit.

The lads were bitterly disappointed with the winning amount, which they will have to split between them.
Meanwhile, Sonny and Alicia sold their home for $3.06million – $120,000 above their $2.94million reserve.
Despite the small yield, the couple were happy with the result.
But not everyone walked away with a sale, as both Emma and Ben, and Han and Can, failed to attract enough interest to get their properties over the line.
In heartbreaking scenes, Emma and Ben’s home was passed in after bidding stalled at their $2.99million reserve – and even a $3.10million bid failed to help it generate interest.
Han and Can’s home also failed to sell, the ladies left facing the crushing reality that they were walking away from the show without having made a penny.
