They’ve been clashing on our screens for weeks, with rumours doing the rounds that things get so bad between Kylie and Brad Baker that they join Jesse Maguire and Paige Beechey in quitting The Block Australia. So what’s really going on?
“Something on site at The Block is clearly annoying Kylie and I suspect it’s Brad,” one fan suggested online. “She’s not annoyed at the show or its producers.”
Now buzz has emerged that things are about to get even more tense between the Cairns couple – and it’s all over some text messages. An insider claims fans will see Kylie, 37, get fired up on the show over disparaging remarks Brad, 32, makes about her to their tiler over the phone.
Electrician and plumber Brad jokes to the tradie about Kylie’s moodiness on site, prompting the hairdresser to see red. Viewers will see them kiss and make up on screen. However, we’re told it’s just the first bit of trouble Brad gets into with his phone. And when Kylie sees yet another string of texts, reportedly about another contestant, she walks out.
“Something happens later in the season that shatters their relationship,” spills our spy. “Kylie was left embarrassed and she’ll be shocked by an incident that occurred after a few of the houses caught up socially out of hours. There was some drinking involved and that can sometimes be dangerous.”
Another insider, who also witnessed the situation, describes it as like “work drinks gone bad”.
We’re told, “Things got out of hand and the ramifications have continued on. Kylie has told friends she won’t be mentioning her former neighbour by name – ever.”
Meanwhile, a source close to the couple has claimed that things were already tense between Kylie and Brad before they even hit The Block.
“The reason she comes across as grumpy is because she tried to quit the show but was talked into continuing because of the contract,” wrote the anonymous source. “She also stomped around saying, ‘I don’t want to be here,’ the whole time.”
However, another insider insists the pair are reportedly trying to fix their relationship.
“Brad and Kylie are still living together,” claims the source. “They have been going through a tough time. What their relationship status will be when the show ends is currently completely undetermined.
“They don’t feel comfortable talking about anything that goes down yet because they’re still dealing with the aftermath. It’s going to be hard to relive that nightmare.”
The Block Australia screens 7pm Sunday to Wednesday on Three and streams on ThreeNow.
