The Block has been rocked by theories that the ‘flirtgate’ scandal was staged on the show amid a slew of very telling clues.
And on Tuesday, even more evidence emerged that seemed to prove that things aren’t as cold between the show’s controversial stars as it seemed on screen.
Photos taken during the Melbourne Cup at Flemington Racecourse showed married couple Kylie and Brad Baker despite the flirt drama alongside Mimi Belperio.
A playful video of Kylie with The Block bidder Adrian Portelli on the GH Mumm marquee has also sparked theories that their friendliness could point to the show’s 2024 winner.
The latest clues come after Kylie and Brad teamed up with Channel Nine producer Julian Cress despite an alleged falling out with the network.
The drama first started 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 conversation.
The controversial exchange came as Brad and Mimi were having drinks at his house while Kylie napped next to them, sparking the now infamous ‘flirtgate’ scandal.
Kylie then sensationally stormed off the set and threatened to ‘break the damn camera’ if the crew continued filming a dramatic exit.

While Sunday’s tense scenes showed The Block to be very icy, Tuesday’s event painted a very different picture.
Despite leaving the show, Kylie and Brad were seen sporting huge grins as they posed alongside their The Block co-stars at the races, including Mimi and Kristian.
The two couples seemed to be getting along really well, as they stood right next to each other in the group photo, with huge grins.
The upset of the dramatic ‘flirtgate’ scandal seemed non-existent when the two married couples met during the fun day out.
Fans quickly took to the comments section to point out how friendly the couples seemed with each other after the huge on-screen upset.
One wrote: ‘Wow, so good to see Kylie and Brad,’ while another said: ‘Kylie and Brad are there too – that’s good.’
A third said: ‘Great to see all the teams back together,’ and a fifth commented: ‘Happy to see Kylie and Brad back in the mix!’
Elsewhere at the Melbourne Cup, Kylie was also seen in a very friendly display with controversial bidder Adrian from The Block.

In a video shared to his Instagram Stories, Adrian was seen smiling and laughing with all The Block contestants before tapping Kylie on the back to get her attention.
She then turned around and flashed a huge smile before flipping the bird in a playful gesture, sending Adrian into hysterics.
Adrian is known for attending The Block’s annual auctions when contestants’ homes are up for sale, and has made some impressive bids over the years.
And his playful appearance alongside Kylie has sparked speculation he could be hinting that she and her husband will win the 2024 programme.
Kylie and her husband Brad were also eagerly chatting with The Block’s co-creator and executive producer Julian Cress at the Melbourne Cup.
They are said to have had a huge falling out with Channel Nine following the show’s ‘flirtgate’ scandal, but the latest pictures have proven they are on good terms.
Kylie and Brad, who are still together after the ‘flirtgate’ drama, were seen smiling and laughing with Julian, proving things aren’t as tense now as they were on screen.
Despite Kylie’s promise to boycott auction day, sources also claimed the duo would consider returning for the sale if the reserve was at the right price.
Kylie and Brad were engaged in scenes on The Block that seemed to show a strained relationship between them and the production team.
On Sunday, Kylie’s journey on the show came to an explosive end when she clashed spectacularly with the show’s judges, host Scott Cam and even her own team of tradies.

In a dramatic build-up to the final round of judging, tensions reached boiling point when Kylie ordered her team to stop work just hours before the final reveal.
‘F**king, leave it all. I want everyone out, I’m not kidding,” she instructed, before telling Brad to get them out. TO GET. THEM. OUT. Tell them to leave! I don’t want their help.’
Left with no choice, Brad relayed her orders to their bewildered tradies, who reluctantly packed up and left.
The next day, when host Scott Cam shouted “tools down” for the final time, Kylie was noticeably absent from the celebration.
