The Block: Tanya Guccione ‘HANGS UP’ on Kyle and Jackie O after question on her ‘ugly purple hair’

She recently dropped out of all media interviews after confessing she had taken the photo at the centre of The Block’s ‘biggest cheating scandal ever’.

And Tanya Guccione returned to the spotlight on Tuesday with a surprise appearance on The Kyle and Jackie O Show.

However, the interview went off the rails when radio host Kyle Sandilands made fun of her trademark purple hair and she appeared to hang up the phone. 

Back with a bang! The Block villain Tanya Guccione appeared to ‘hang up’ on The Kyle and Jackie O show on Tuesday, before later saying it was due to technical difficulties

‘I thought the scandal part was excellent,’ Kyle, 50, said of the cheating saga. ‘Now, what are you going to do with that ugly hair? Are you getting rid of that purple-ness?’

‘There’s no need to have that – if you want to hide from the public, the first thing you do is get rid of the purple hair,’ he added.

‘Oh, that’s not nice!’ his co-host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson responded. ‘Have you got the purple hair still?’

The phone line then went silent, and Kyle whispered: ‘She must have been offended… I think she cut out, mate.’

As the KIIS FM producers scrambled to get her back, one was heard saying: ‘Yeah… her house doesn’t have the best reception, one sec.’ 

‘Don’t go on about her hair! She’s a hairdresser,’ Jackie scolded Kyle.

Tanya, 40, who has worked as a hair and makeup artist for years, later resumed the interview and blamed the disruption on technical difficulties.

It’s unclear if this was actually the case, however, because it sounded as if she hung up or passed the phone to someone else.

Regardless of what happened, she didn’t seem to be angry when she returned to the phone, telling the hosts: ‘I’m back, I just lost you right at the juicy part.’

Kyle was a little kinder for the rest of the interview, and tried to tell Tanya he only suggested she change her hair so she’s less recognisable in public.

‘I said if you want to hide from the public, the first thing you do is get rid of that purple hair,’ he said, smoothing things over.

‘It’s true, but you know. I’m not going to let them [the trolls] win,’ she replied. 

'Oh, that's not nice!' Jackie 'O' Henderson responded. 'Have you got the purple hair still?' Following Jackie's response, there was radio silence from Tanya's end

Tanya went on the reveal the public hadn’t been too harsh on her since the cheating scandal came to light.

‘You know what’s really funny, we were in lockdown – I thought the second I leave the house, people are going to throw eggs at me,’ she said. 

‘But everybody has been so kind.’

Tanya and her husband Vito found themselves at the centre of a cheating scandal early in the season after she obtained a photo of the show’s production schedule and shared it with Luke and Josh Packham.

Anyone who saw the photo had the advantage of being able to plan their specifications weeks in advance or pre-order something for a specific room.

The Gucciones and the Packham twins were each docked two points for a room reveal after the scandal was exposed.

Tanya broke down and finally took responsibility for taking the photo during the finale, after weeks of claiming an ‘anonymous tradie’ had sent it to her. 

‘What I want to say is that I am obviously taking full responsibility for this situation and I am sorry, I am truly sorry. Yes, I did. I took the photograph,’ she said tearfully.

‘I am not a stupid woman but I did a stupid thing. We take responsibility for what happened and where it ended up after that was obviously out of my power, but I started it.’
