The Block host Scott Cam has sent a warning to billionaire businessman Adrian ‘Mr Lambo’ Portelli ahead of the new season’s premiere.

Adrian, 36, has been buying up Block houses over the last three seasons and giving them away in his raffles.

Scott has now begged him not to attend this year’s auction to give others a chance to own a home.

‘To be honest we said to Adrian “we’d love you not to come next year, if that’s all right.” But you know it’s up to him it’s a public auction and he can do whatever he wants,’ he revealed on Nova 96.9’s Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie.

‘He said he won’t come but he may come. We don’t know, but we do want to give mums and dads the opportunity to have a crack at a block house.

‘If Adrian comes and wants to buy the lot of them, well, that rules them out,’ Scott said.

‘Hopefully we get, a few buyer advocates that come and are representing families. So hopefully they turn up and have a bit of a crack this year.’

During the 2024 finale of The Block, Adrian made history by purchasing all five of the properties for a huge $15million.

He ensured Maddy and Charlotte Harry became the youngest ever winners when he bought their home for $3.5million.

Adrian’s company, LMCT+, has frequently raffled off properties from The Block, including last year’s $5million purchase of Steph and Gian’s winning home.

Shortly after buying up the entire plot of homes on Phillip Island, Adrian then announced his massive ‘resort giveaway’ through LMCT+.

Last year, he confessed to The Kyle and Jackie O Show that he doesn’t even like Phillip Island and that is why he will be giving all five properties, packaged as a ‘resort’, away in the raffle.

The shock admission came when host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson asked the entrepreneur: ‘So what are you going to do with all these houses, Adrian?’

‘Well, I was thinking of starting my own resort, but I’m actually going to give them away to one of my customers,’ Adrian responded.

Kyle Sandilands explained: ‘That’s what he does. Every time he buys these houses he gives them away to one of his customers… It’s part of a contest [LMCT+].’

‘We give them away and someone gets to win it,’ Adrian said, before slamming the location where The Block was filmed this year.

‘I’m not much of a fan of Phillip Island. It’s a bit of a drive for me. I can’t be bothered to drive all that way,’ he said.
