The Block star Charlotte has hit back at rumours there is a romance brewing between her and builder Jack.
Charlotte and her sister Maddie recruited Jack, a carpenter who works for their real-life house-flipping business, to help them in the competition.
The pair have been relying on the helpful tradie for companionship more and more as they struggle to break the ice with the other teams.
On Tuesday’s episode, producers fanned the flames of a potential romance by airing a ‘loved-up’ montage of Charlotte and Jack together on the set to the tune of the iconic Foreigner ballad I Want To Know What Love Is.
Sitting on the couch with Maddy, a producer asked Charlotte point blank if there was anything romantic between the pair.
‘Let me make this so clear, there is zero romance between me and Jack,’ she replied.
‘You can squish that one.’
The producer continued unabated in his quest to unearth a new love, telling the reality star that there was chemistry between her and Jack.

‘Well, there is nothing,’ Charlotte replied matter-of-factly.
‘We’re not each other’s type and nothing has ever happened between us romantically.’
Speaking to Yahoo Lifestyle, Charlotte doubled down on the plutonic nature of her relationship with Jack.
‘Just to be clear, there is zero romance between Jack and I,’ Charlotte reiterated.
‘We’ve known each other as close friends for like, four years, and nothing has ever happened. Nothing will ever happen.

‘He’s like our brother, so no, definitely not.’
Maddy and Charlotte recently broke their silence on the ‘bullying’ they received on the show from fellow contestants.
The Sydney sisters entered into the heated 20th season of the renovation competition earlier this month, after couple Paige Beechey and Jesse Maguire threw down their tools.
Speaking to Yahoo Lifestyle on Tuesday, Maddy said she’s found watching the season quite difficult to watch because of how she and her sister were treated by the other contestants.
‘Sunday night’s episode made me really upset,’ Maddy told the publication. ‘I was like, “I can’t watch this”.
‘These people are being cruel to us and I don’t really understand why.’
The pair’s competitors were less than impressed with their Sunday night guest bathroom reveal, calling the room ‘safe’ and ‘vanilla.’
‘Let me make this so clear, there is zero romance between me and Jack,’ she replied. ‘You can squish that one.’
Rivals Kylie and Brad Baker were fuming and went so far as to not offer any applause when the duo won the challenge.
However, the final edit also showed Kylie and Brad telling cameras that the competition was ‘rigged’ because the sisters were ‘the most hated people on The Block.’
‘We didn’t do anything to them to deserve that behaviour,’ Maddy continued as she broke her silence this week after the events aired.
‘Just to be clear, there is zero romance between Jack and I,’ Charlotte reiterated to Yahoo Lifestyle
