Block 2024‘s Jesse Maguire and Paige Beechey have been tipped to return to the show after sensationally quitting during the season.
During the September 9 episode, the controversial couple decided to leave the show due to mental health struggles, with insiders stating they also fought a lot behind the scenes.
Speaking about their exit, the duo slammed production, telling So Dramatic! their mental health concerns were “dismissed” and they were the victims of a bad edit. Paige also told her TikTok followers that the show used their mental health as a “gross cash grab”.
However, despite all the drama, one insider told Yahoo Lifestyle that the pair “filmed a surprise cameo” earlier this year, which will air towards the end of the season.
“It was a sneaky tactic of Channel Nine to film something before the controversial couple watched the show with the rest of Australia, as their feelings have changed since they watched their edit,” they dished.
“What audiences will see in the final week will look very much like, ‘Everything is fine. See, look, they still love the show!’.
“Would they have come back if they asked them now? I guess that answer is pretty clear if you are following Paige’s social media.” Eep!
Insiders claim Channel Nine is providing The Block’s Jesse & Paige with support upon their exit
The source added that Channel Nine has provided the duo mental health support since their exit, and the “door will always be open” for them to communicate with The Block team.
“It’d be confronting for any couple to watch back the tumultuous times of their relationship on national TV, and Jesse and Paige were very real and very raw.
“Sadly, the show wasn’t the right environment for them, and they were supported in their decision to leave.”
According to the insider, Jesse and Paige “agreed to return five weeks later” and were “more than happy to come back”.
“They’ve been back to Phillip Island twice since their dramatic exit,” they added.
