They also claimed the new scenes would illustrate how much the couple “loves the show” despite Paige’s recent social media post.
“Would they have gotten back together if they were asked now? I guess the answer is pretty clear if you follow Paige’s social media,” he added.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Nine for comment.
Paige and Jesse, who were dubbed the “villains” of the series, decided to withdraw from the renewal competition after a rough few weeks that included some explosive fights.
In scenes that aired earlier this month, the couple emerged in tears after producers were forced to intervene and urge them to speak to psychologists.
Following their shock exit, host Scott Cam revealed the couple’s decision was theirs alone and responded to claims they were asked to leave.
In a video posted on 9NowScott said producers had a “duty of care” towards the couple.
In scenes that aired earlier this month, the couple made a tearful exit after producers were forced to intervene and urge them to speak to psychologists following a series of tense rows.
“We’ve always said we’re not doing anything major here, we’re just renovating,” Scott said in the video.
“Health, wellbeing and happiness always come first on The Block. We always make sure that the contestants’ wellbeing comes first.”
However, earlier this week, Paige launched an explosive attack on TikTok producers, claiming the way they handled her deteriorating mental health was “disgusting”.
“But the way they handled the whole mental health issue was a gross display of a TV show trying to cash in on its relevance,” she said in the video.
“It’s very clear that they are trying to enter their ‘woke’ era and this was very opportunistic for them at the expense of mental health.”
She claimed the couple had a good relationship with producers, who she said referred to her as the “Energizer Bunny,” but said the story after production was different.
She furiously slammed producers for her “horrible” experience on the show and accused the show of editing her scenes to make her look “crazy.”
“They did it by literally putting entire sentences in my mouth, and that’s what we like to call Frankenbites,” he said.
‘They were cutting bits and pieces from everywhere and putting them together to get everything into the context they wanted, but it was crystal clear that things didn’t fit.
‘They were blatantly cutting off conversations to make me look crazy. So we were pretty frustrated with the way we were portrayed the first two weeks. We were just sitting there like, ‘What?’
The news comes after Paige hit out at the Channel Nine show in a series of scathing comments on TikTok as she criticised the final edition that aired.
“I really tried to put my mental health aside, but anything would make me nervous, anxious, paranoid all day long, but I really did my best to be okay,” she continued.
A Nine spokesperson said: ‘Nine and Cavalier Television take their obligations regarding the health and wellbeing of participants on this show very seriously.
