It comes after 2023 winner Steph and Gian Ottavio’s genius tactics threatened to derail the 2024 season of the Channel Nine series as future contestants could try to follow in their footsteps.

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia on Monday, Steph and Gian revealed their foolproof strategy to win the renovation show.

“When we got the call that we were on The Block in February, the first thing we did, I think three days later, was we called Tom Panos, our auctioneer,” they said.

They continued, “He was the first person we called and engaged, and people probably wouldn’t think that.”

The tactic paid off tenfold: the Sydney couple took home The Block crown when they sold their Hampton East home for $5 million.

The friends from western Sydney made a shocking $1.6 million profit when they sold their Gisborne home during season 18 of The Block in 2022.
