EXCLUSIVE: Five weeks into The Block and Dan and Dani’s expectations were high for the living and dining rooms – they didn’t expect to find the “worst room yet”.

The pair weren’t backwards in coming forwards with one feature being slammed for “ruining” the space and the couple airing their biggest gripe about the winning room.

Dan didn’t like it one little bit, while Dani could be persuaded but thought it looked “dirty”.

Dani voiced a rather “controversial opinion” about their upside down timber ceiling and we’re not sure everyone will agree.

The furniture was far too squished for their liking and eyeing off their dining table Dan spotted a detail lurking underneath that he absolutely “hated”.
