The Block has been rocked by theories that the show’s ‘flirtgate’ scandal was staged amid a series of very revealing clues.
And more evidence emerged Tuesday that seemed to show that things aren’t as frosty between the show’s controversial stars as they seemed on screen.
Photos taken at the Melbourne Cup at Flemington Racecourse showed couple Kylie and Brad Baker posing alongside Mimi Belperio despite the flirting drama.
A funny video of Kylie with The Block bidder Adrian Portelli inside the GH Mumm marquee also sparked theories that their friendship could be hinting at the winner of the 2024 show.
The latest clues come after Kylie and Brad were seen hobnobbing with Channel Nine producer Julian Cress despite an alleged row with the network.
The drama first began when Brad told fellow contestant Mimi, who is married to Kristian, that he would follow her Onlyfans account if she had one in a flirty chat.
The controversial conversation occurred when Brad and Mimi were sharing a drink at their house while Kylie took a nap next to them and sparked the now infamous ‘flirtgate’ scandal.
Kylie then sensationally stormed off the set and threatened to ‘break the damn camera’ if the crew continued filming in a dramatic exit.

While Sunday’s tense scenes showed things were very frosty on The Block, Tuesday’s event painted a completely different picture.
Despite leaving the show, Kylie and Brad were seen flashing huge smiles as they posed alongside their The Block co-stars at the races, including Mimi and Kristian.
The two couples seemed to be on very good terms as they stood side by side in the group photo, flashing huge smiles.
The unease over the dramatic ‘flirtgate’ scandal seemed non-existent as the two married couples rubbed shoulders during the fun-filled day.
Fans quickly took to the comments section to point out how friendly the couples seemed to each other after the major on-screen upset.
One wrote: “Great to see Kylie and Brad,” while another said: “Kylie and Brad are there too that’s good.”
A third commented: “Great to see all the teams back together,” and a fifth commented: “Glad to see Kylie and Brad back in the mix!”
Elsewhere at the Melbourne Cup, Kylie was also seen putting on a very friendly display with controversial The Block bidder Adrian.
The drama first began when Brad told fellow contestant Mimi, who is married to Kristian (pictured with Mimi), that he would follow her Onlyfans account if she had one in a flirty chat.
In a video shared to his Instagram Stories, Adrian was seen smiling and laughing with all of The Block contestants before touching Kylie on the back to get her attention.
He then turned around and flashed a big smile before flipping the bird in a playful gesture that drove Adrian into hysterics.
Adrian is known for attending The Block’s annual auctions when contestants’ homes go up for sale and has made some impressive bids over the years.
And her playful appearance alongside Kylie has sparked speculation that she could be hinting that she and her husband will win the 2024 show.
Kylie and her husband Brad were also seen chatting eagerly with The Block co-creator and executive producer Julian Cress at the Melbourne Cup.
They are said to have had a massive falling out with Channel Nine following the show’s ‘flirtgate’ scandal, but latest pictures have shown they are on good terms.
Kylie and Brad, who are still together after the ‘flirtgate’ drama, were seen smiling and laughing with Julian, proving that things now are not as tense as shown on screen.
Despite Kylie’s promise to boycott the day of the auction, sources also claimed that the duo would consider returning for the sale if the reserve was for the right price.
Kylie and Brad were embroiled in scenes from The Block that seemed to show strained relations between them and the production team.
On Sunday, Kylie’s journey on the show came to an explosive end when she spectacularly clashed with the show’s judges, host Scott Cam and even her own commercial team.
The latest clues come after Kylie and Brad were seen hobnobbing with Channel Nine producer Julian Cress despite an alleged row with the network.
In a dramatic run-up to the final round of judging, tensions reached a boiling point when Kylie ordered her team to stop work just hours before the latest revelation.
‘Damn it, everyone leave it. ‘I want everyone to leave, I’m not joking,’ he instructed, before telling Brad to ‘get them out. GET. THEM. OUT. Tell them to leave! I don’t want their help.’
Brad, having no other choice, relayed his orders to his stunned tradies, who reluctantly packed up and left.
The next day, when host Scott Cam called for “low tools” for the last time, Kylie was noticeably absent from the celebration.
