The Block’s Kylie and Brad were spotted together at the Melbourne Cup just two days after viewers witnessed Kylie abandon her husband on the show during a dramatic exit. Fans of the show were caught by surprise when the couple were seen with the rest of the cast sporting glamourous outfits for the big race at Flemington. The group photo was posted by Instagram account The Blockinator Blog which posts regular updates about the show’s happenings to its more than 20,000 followers.

Their appearance comes after Kylie caused chaos on Sunday night’s episode when she stormed off the show for good following a tense exchange with host Scott Cam. Kylie kicked her team of tradies out, railed against the judges and Cam and fled the scene barefoot after threatening the show’s crew. Kylie promised she wouldn’t return for auction day, even if it meant she forfeited any profits from the season.



Kylie and Brad’s season on The Block has been turbulent from the start but tensions finally erupted over a “flirting” controversy. Kylie heard Brad making “inappropriate” comments to fellow contestant Mimi and briefly fled the show to return home to Cairns. While she did eventually come back to the production, it didn’t mean she’d forgiven her husband.

“Just me talking to you does not mean I’m OK, just so you know. This is us being separated. We’re officially single people,” she told him.

If the couple’s Melbourne Cup reunion wasn’t enough to shock viewers, her newly dyed hair was. On the show, Kylie sported neon green locks but she has since changed her colour to blonde. Many fans were feeling relieved at seeing the couple out in public after her spat caused relationship breakdown rumours.

“Kylie & Brad are there too — that’s good,” one fan said on Instagram. Another fan said: “The green hair has gone and she’s back for the money.” “I’m so so happy to see Kylie and Brad back too.

Emotionally, you could see she had been going through A LOT which really should not had been broadcasted,” a third added. The Block auction day is expected to take place on Saturday, with the season finale to come the following evening on Nine..
