Tensions are brewing on The Block over host Scott Cam’s jaw-dropping $2.4million salary.

Insiders are saying that the renovation show’s other high-profile personalities are not happy after Cam’s massive payday was revealed last month.

The source revealed that current judges Shaynna Blaze, Marty Fox and Darren Palmer are not getting anything close to the 62-year-old one-time tradie’s salary.

‘I don’t think many people knew what money he was making, and it has totally thrown the cat among the pigeons,’ an insider told Woman’s Day.

‘It is no secret that they get slammed online. They all bring credibility and star power to the show, but compared to Scotty’s millions, their pay packets look like loose change,’ they continued.

According to the report, The Block’s veteran judge Shaynna Blaze, 62, takes home between ‘$60,000 to $90,000’ a season after starting her time on the show in 2012 on a ‘casual day rate’.

Darren Palmer, 46, who has featured on Nine’s ratings blockbuster since 2010, became a permanent part of the judging line-up in 2013.

He reportedly earns between $50,000 and $60,000 a season, according to an insider.

And in a surprising twist, a source says that new judge Marty Fox, 36, was so happy to be on The Block that he told the show’s producers he would appear ‘for free’.

The real estate guru reportedly told cast-mates after he made his debut in 2023 on The Block that his appearance on the show was worth $250,000 to his Whitefox property business.

Daily Mail has reached out to Channel Nine for comment.

It comes after Cam’s salary was revealed last month, with the sky-high figure making him one of the highest-paid presenters in Australia.

A source revealed to Woman’s Day in August that Channel Nine was keen to keep Cam and his co-star, Shelley Craft, on the home renovation series for as long as they could.

‘As long as audiences keep watching, Scotty and Shelley are the heart of the show,’ they said.

‘It’s ultimately up to the network, but if Scott wants to stay, they will find a way to keep him.’

The insider added that Cam’s good-natured attitude made him a delight to work with.

‘He still feels lucky to be doing it year after year and to be part of a show audiences still love. There’s a real sense of gratitude,’ they said.

Cam has co-hosted The Block since 2010.

Season 21 of the long-running reality TV series recently premiered, and the Daylesford-filmed season looks to be one of the most gripping yet.
