It takes a lot to rattle The Block host Scott Cam who’s seen it all after fronting the Channel Nine renovation show for more than a decade.
But this week on The Block, divisive couple Jason and Sarah get under the skin of the Gold Logie winner when they refuse to pay their tradespeople to the tune of $8000.
For Scott Cam, that behaviour is not on and he is set to give the couple a serve, TV WEEK reported on Monday.
‘Laziness really gets under my skin’: On Monday, TV WEEK reported that The Block host Scott Cam is fed up with contestants Jason and Sarah and will take aim at the divisive couple this week when they refuse to pay their tradies
‘I’ve got a problem. Number one, we pay our bills on The Block. We have to — it’s our reputation,’ an infuriated Scott will tell Jason and Sarah in an upcoming episode.
‘This guy has a family. He’s owed 8000 bucks and you’ve told him you’re not paying any of it.’
Speaking to TV WEEK, Scott said he was fed up with the couple’s bad attitudes and behaviour.
‘Jason and Sarah have quite a few weaknesses in this competition. They’ve struggled all the way through with money and timings,’ he told the magazine.
Referring to his long stint as host on The Block, the 54-year-old added: ‘I’ve done 13 of these — laziness really gets under my skin.’

‘He’s owed 8000 bucks and you’ve told him you’re not paying any of it’: Scott Cam is infuriated the couple won’t pay their bills
In the yet-to-be-aired episodes, Sarah takes issue with Scott’s accusations that they’re trying to wriggle out of paying their bills.
Instead, she claims they don’t want to shell out cash for substandard work.
‘None of the work was done properly and he wants to charge me $8000. I don’t think so.’ the nurse says.

Scott Cam has previously come to blows with the controversial duo, and even threatened to throw them off the show when they failed to complete a room after running low on funds and motivation.
‘In the interest of fair play I can’t let your lack of effort continue,’ Scott told the embattled couple at the time.
Jason has also been in firing line of foreman Keith in the past, with the latter accusing the contestant of thinking he’s on a ‘holiday’ on the show.
Deeming Jason lazy for his perceived lack of effort, Keith said: ‘You have an obligation to finish this house, you’re not having a crack.’
