In what is shaping up to be one of the biggest scandals The Block has ever seen, Josh and Luke were accused of trying to obtain secret information about upcoming challenges on the show.
‘Look, we definitely have a role to play in that, but it’s just interesting who’s pointing the fingers because there is more guilty parties to come,’ Josh said cryptically.
‘People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. We don’t know what’s going to be shown over the next week, but there’s willing participants, and all I will say is that we definitely didn’t have an advantage over Ronnie and Georgia,’ added Luke.
