The Block’s ‘flirtgate’ scandal exploded on screen last night, when contestant Brad Baker admitted ‘I just single-handedly destroyed my family’ over comments he made to another man’s wife.
In stunning scenes, Brad’s wife Kylie Baker left the production and apparently flew home to Cairns after overhearing her husband “flirting” with another contestant.
The scandal began when Mimi, who is married to Kristian on the show, went to Brad and Kylie’s house alone for a casual drink.
While she and Brad chatted, Kylie was napping nearby and Brad, by his own admission, crossed the line.
‘I said some pretty inappropriate comments. “He was flirting with Mimi…Kylie overheard them and is understandably quite upset,” he later explained.
During a subsequent phone conversation with her mother, Kylie revealed exactly what happened during the conversation between her husband and Mimi.
‘Flirting, as well as talking really inappropriately. How many fucking chances have I given him? Over and over again,” he told his mother.
Kylie then revealed one of the devastating comments Brad made during the flirtatious exchange.

‘Oh, you know I would follow your Onlyfans,’ the electrician and plumber allegedly told Mimi, within earshot of his ‘sleeping’ wife.
She also alleged that Brad was “complaining” about her during the conversation.
-That? Is he complaining about you to other people? Kylie’s stunned mother asked. “Well, that has happened before and will continue to happen.”

The consequences of the scandal were swift and surprising.
Kylie immediately left the show and host Scott Cam announced that the mother of four left the construction site the next morning, “and has never been seen since.”
“We found her car, her Block phone, all the high-visibility devices… We’ve done everything we can to locate her and they haven’t seen her,” he said.
The on-screen drama unfolded days after Kristian and Mimi broke their silence over the scandal exclusively to Daily Mail Australia.
The Adelaide couple confirmed at the Channel Nine Upfronts in Sydney on Thursday that the flirting did indeed happen, but insisted they had put the infidelity behind them.

The scandal involved Mimi getting involved with fellow Blockhead Brad Baker while on set, behind her partners Kristian and Kylie’s back.
“Our relationship is stronger than ever,” Kristian said when asked about the scandal.
Although Mimi and Kristian were able to work through their marital problems, Brad and Kylie did not and left the show midway through, and the status of their relationship is currently unknown.
‘The thing about the show is that everything we’ve done happened in the past. We have learned from everything we have been through and we are better for it,” Mimi began.
‘So when it happens, it happened in the past. Yes. It doesn’t really bother me.’
Kylie immediately left the show and host Scott Cam announced that the mother of four left the construction site the next morning, “and has never been seen since.”
He then claimed there was no tension between them, Kylie and Brad, and noted that their rivals were not at the event because the couple was finding it difficult to find a babysitter for their four children.
‘There is no tension. We saw them last week and I talked to him. Yes. But nothing happens.
Mimi said her time through the series of renovations had been a significant learning experience.
“It took leaving The Block to say, ‘Okay, let’s reflect on our experience and what we’ve learned from this,'” Mimi said.
The couple’s explosive admission comes after their co-stars Charlotte and Maddy appeared to confirm gossip that “something happened” between two of the show’s contestants during filming.
The Blockheads did the revelation during an appearance on HIT WA’s Allan & Carly Show last week.
The shocking cheating scandal involved Mimi getting involved with fellow Blockhead Brad Baker (pictured with wife Kylie) while on set, behind her co-stars Kristian and Kylie’s back.
Host Carly Portch asked the couple about online rumors about Mimi and Brad.
“Look, I think everything will be revealed in the next few weeks,” Charlotte, 22, responded, adding, “I think stay tuned for that.”
Maddy, 24, added: “We don’t want to talk about it specifically because people’s real lives are at stake and we obviously weren’t there so we don’t know all the details.”
‘But yeah… something happened. We’re probably not the right people to talk about it.
Fans will be eager to see how the drama unfolds after Kristian, 31, and Mimi, 28, recently confessed that appearing on Channel Nine’s renewal show put a huge strain on their marriage.
