The Block Australia’s winning sisters Maddie and Charlotte Harry were ecstatic to walk away with $1.83 million in profits for just eight weeks of work, but their staggering win was “gutting” for the original House 1 team, Jesse Maguire and Paige Beechey – and now they’re ready to fight for their cut of the cash, despite quitting the show in week five.

We’re told carpenter Jesse, 29, and insurance specialist Paige, 27, want “a third of the auction money”, which they feel they’re entitled to. “If all of Jessie and Paige’s work had been redone after they exited the renovation show, it would feel like they had less claim over the overall outcome, but plenty of their ideas still existed,” explains our source.

“Some former reality TV stars have been guiding them on how they should approach the network. There’s hope yet for the couple to not walk away empty-handed.”
