House Rules Shayn and Carly: “The devastating death that changed our lives”

Tragic... - by Faye James
  • 28 Apr 2019

Married couple Shayn, 33, and Carly, 31, have been together for six years and have two children Harper, 5 and Imogen, 3.

They live an idyllic life on the Sunshine Coast but during the show’s premiere episode, the couple revealed a tragedy that changed their lives forever.

“The way Shane and I got together is a bit unique. My ex partner was Shane’s best friend and we lost him in a tragic accident. It was very intense…” Carly reveals breaking down in tears.

“Life is short you need to make the most out of it,” she reveals of her motivations.

“The reason we entered the competition is basically to upgrade our home for the kids. Our family is fast outgrowing the house,” says Shayn.

But despite being a happy family, they are still incredibly competitive.

“I don’t like losing. I don’t even like to lose board games; even something as simple as Go Fish.” Carly says.

“Whatever happens, we’re ready. Having our house renovated into a dream home would be like winning the lotto for us. Bring it on!” Shayn adds.
