They were controversial winners of The Block last year after their millionaire pal Adrian ‘Mr Lambo’ Portelli got into a bidding war with serial bidder Danny Wallis.
And Omar Slaimankhel and Ozman ‘Oz’ Abu Malik have hit back at their critics after Portelli spent a whopping $5million on Steph and Gian’s house during this year’s auction.
Omar and Oz both posted videos congratulating Steph and Gian after Portelli’s buy netted the young lovebirds $1.75million in profit.
The best mates also clapped back at critics who claimed their win on The Block last year was ‘rigged’ and Portelli was just a ‘dummy bidder’ to drive up the price of their home.
‘What a crazy ride, you guys deserved it, you had the best house on the Block by far,’ Oz said in his short clip.
