“We’re focusing on a prettier, healthier season, but no matter who we cast, drama always happens,” the source said.
It comes after notorious contestant Kristy Beames, 34, said she would be happy to return to the hit show.
Kristy told Yahoo Lifestyle earlier this year that if producers contacted her, she would be happy to return to The Block.
She added that if she does manage to appear on the show, viewers can expect her to be even more outspoken than she was in last year’s infamous “nasty” season.

Nine has confirmed that just five teams will compete to convert five properties into the former Island Cove Villas on Phillip Island.
The Block producers spent a whopping $9.5 million for this year’s location, which is two and a half hours from Melbourne.
The property currently has nine homes, a community pool, a barbecue pavilion, a tennis court and a children’s playground.
