The Block’s Sharon Johal and Ankur Dogra blast ‘grumpy old man’ Scott Cam

They have been providing constant entertainment and controversy on this year’s season of The Block.

And Sharon Johal and Ankur Dogra have now escalated their feud with host Scott Cam, after he told them they needed to change their attitude.

Sharon called Scott ‘a grumpy old man’ during an interview with TV Week on Thursday, saying he’d made no attempt to apologise after their most recent blow-up.

Despite the constant backlash that is thrown their way, Sharon and Ankur are glad to be representing Indian culture on reality TV. 

Tensions have been running high in recent episodes, prompting Scott and co-host Shelley Craft to check in on their workload and work ethic. 

Shelley went in as good cop, asking the Melbourne couple how they were feeling, before Scott delivered the cold, hard facts. 

‘No one’s keeping you here and you can go anytime you like. This is not compulsory,’ he snapped.

Scott said they needed an ‘attitude change’ because ‘people around them weren’t happy’, including their builders and tradesmen.

Sharon and Ankur once again found themselves at the centre of a ‘cheating’ scandal this week with their most recent challenge win. 

The pair won $13,000 in prizes during an antiques challenge on Wednesday’s episode when their dresser mirror made a $250 profit.

But the other teams weren’t happy and accused them of getting a ‘pity victory’ as the task required the teams to buy an item fit for a kitchen.

‘Full-blown sympathy vote, I think,’ rival contestant Tom told producers. 

‘Come Sunday they’ll get a beautiful mirror in their kitchen,’ Omar laughed. ‘You can watch yourself cook!’

Meanwhile, Rachel reached breaking point and called Sharon and Ankur’s win unfair.

‘This isn’t a fair playing field,’ she said. ‘This [show] seems to have a way of breaking your spirit. But I hope that it’s all worth it.’
