The upcoming season of The Block is set to feature a dramatic twist before filming even began, as multiple sources claim contestants Chantelle Green and Wyatt Randall had already split. The pair, billed as a "loved-up Gold Coast couple" by Channel Nine, reportedly ended their relationship prior to production commencing.
Promotional materials for the show highlight Green and Randall's shared passion for health and wellness. They co-founded the fitness app FindingForm, with Green also leading Her Form Activewear and Randall, an Army veteran, advocating for Type 1 diabetes awareness and operating as a fitness coach and talent agency owner. Their businesses and focus on health were presented as ideal preparation for the competitive environment of The Block.
However, insiders have stated that behind the scenes, the couple had "already gone their separate ways before filming." This revelation reportedly surprised those around them, as the relationship's end was, according to one source, "one of the worst-kept secrets on the Gold Coast" well before production started.
Multiple insiders suggest that Green and Randall proceeded with the show despite their breakup due to the significant opportunity it presented for both individuals. Another source offered a slightly different perspective, suggesting they "decided to get back together when they were offered a spot."
The pair's dynamic on set did not go unnoticed, becoming a topic of conversation among those involved. "People noticed something wasn't quite right," a Block insider commented, though it remains uncertain if these observations will be featured in the broadcast.
Producers were reportedly taken by surprise by the situation, as it was not an anticipated storyline. Since filming concluded, reports indicate Randall has moved on to a new relationship, while Green is reportedly focusing on her family and business ventures.
Despite the circumstances, sources close to the couple insist there is no animosity between them, stating they are "both just getting on with their lives" and awaiting the audience's reaction to the new season. Channel Nine has been contacted for comment.
