The Block cheating scandal: Sharon Johal names and shames vile trolls

The Block’s Sharon Johal has exposed social media trolls who sent her racist abuse  after she was embroiled in a ‘cheating scandal’ on the Channel Nine show.

The 34-year-old actress and former lawyer, who is of Indian heritage, posted screenshots on Instagram of two vile direct messages she’d received from viewers.

One of the messages read: ‘You filthy cheating Indian c**t! Get out of our f**king country.

‘Dirty lying c**ts the both of you filthy f**king grubby pieces of s**t! Deny all you f**king like, we all seen you search it on your f**king phones… Your day is coming mole [sic],’ the sick message continued.

Another abusive DM read: ‘You probably should have stuck to cooking curry in the kitchen.’

It comes after Sharon and her husband Ankur Dogra refused to admit they’d used Google to win $50,000 worth of prizes during a wine-making challenge on Tuesday.

The couple were questioned by hosts Scott Cam and Shelley Craft on Wednesday, after they managed to re-create a near identical wine blend.

Shelley asked if they ‘knew how to make it’, but Ankur stuck to his story about the pair having exceptional noses when it comes to wine.

‘No, so we basically drank a lot of that during Covid; it’s one of my favourite wines,’ Ankur said.

‘Shazza’s dad is a wine-grower and makes his own wine,’ he added.

Sharon nodded her head in agreement.

The pair managed to recreate the ‘Samantha’s Paddock’ blend in just 10 minutes, leading rival teams to accuse them of using Google.

The team who placed second, Dylan and Jenny, took nearly two hours to mix a nearly correct blend of the wine.

Sharon and Ankur were later left red-faced after Scott held another wine challenge to test Ankur’s skills as a sommelier.

Scott asked teams to guess if a number of mystery wines were from ‘Australia or France’, with the winner getting $1,000. 

A clearly nervous Ankur did not know the difference between rosé and pinot, which left the group shocked.

‘I knew it was a pinot but I said it was a rosé because I had a VB at Tommy’s house prior to coming,’ Ankur explained. ‘My palette was smashed.’
