It’s a MAFS and The Block crossover!

It’s a Married At First Sight (MAFS) and The Block 2025 crossover! Former MAFS participant Dave Hand has reappeared on our TV screens, but this time he’s caulking bathrooms instead of searching for love with Jamie Marinos.
While both shows are on Channel Nine, Dave tells Chattr his appearance wasn’t a publicity stunt or arranged by any producers.
“It was completely, completely random. The Caruso Brothers rang a friend of mine asking for a caulker. Anyway, they called me, not knowing who I was, and I just rocked up,” Dave says.
“It was funny, because I [saw] all the old producers from MAFS on that set, and you know, it’s quite emotional seeing the producers after a while, because you sort of have a connection with them as well.”
Dave worked on Sonny and Alicia‘s bathhouse room at Hepburn Springs, and the married couple shared a snap of the ex-MAFS contestant posing on site.
“We put a lot of time and effort into our bathhouse room at Hepburn Springs. We are beyond stoked with how it turned out,” Alicia and Sonny wrote on Instagram. “None of this is possible without our talented team of trades and suppliers.”

Did Dave give any of the contestants reality TV advice?
While Dave met a bunch of the contestants and described them as “really lovely”, he didn’t dish out any reality TV tips or tricks.
“I didn’t give anyone advice. Love advice is different from building bathrooms,” he jokes. “Not that I have any good advice to give, just don’t say I love you after three weeks.”
The renovation show is vastly different to the romance show Dave appeared on, and The Block seems more up his alley.
“Obviously, the set is a lot different to Married At First Sight, but I absolutely loved it,” Dave says. “Everyone was really nice, and I got to meet some of the contestants and their kids, who they hadn’t seen in over a month or two. So it was cool to see that.”
Could we see Dave competing on The Block in future? It would be great to see him back on reality TV again.
The Block 2025 airs on Sundays at 7:30pm and Monday – Wednesday at 7pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
