He revealed that he and his wife Sarah find it ‘heartbreaking’ to be selling the spacious pad, as they thought this was their forever home.
‘We are gutted to be selling,’ Julian told News Corp about the four-bedroom and three bathroom home.
‘But with two boys we have realised The Block is going to be keeping us in Melbourne for a while. The kids are going to start school soon, so we won’t be back for 15 more years,’ he said, with the show being filmed in Melbourne.

‘Yes we’ve done breathtaking. Yes we’ve pulled off the impossible and yes, we’ve captivated and occasionally even stunned the nation,’ Scott Cam says in a teaser for the show.
‘But we have never attempted anything like this before,’ he adds.
It has been the site of four murders, including 34-year-old Arthur Karatasiosis – who was stabbed to death in the foyer in 2006.
During that same year a 52-year-old woman was raped and robbed in a gruesome attack.
The building has also seen a series of fatal drug overdoses.
