Fan-favourite The Block 2022 contestant Tom – who competed with his partner Sarah-Jane – has been spotted on the set of The Block 2023.
A newly created Facebook page called ‘2023 Charming St The Block’ has allowed residents who live in Melbounre’s Hampton East (where this year’s The Block is being filmed) to share behind-the-scenes tidbits and images with Blockheads.

And one of the latest posts shows that Tom was there! The local – who didn’t seem to know that Tom was an ex-contestant – wrote alongside two photos:
“Also got to see Tom (the hipages guy – whoever he is) having photos being taken of him outside our place for promos. The lady arrived late and may be the hipages publicist / marketing person? The other tall fellow is the photographer for the The Block.”
Fans immediately shared their delight in the comments.
One Blockhead wrote, “I love Tom and yes, I’m going to say it, his wife too,” while another said, “Tom is awesome! Grab a selfie with him 😜.”
Someone also clarified in the comments that Tom competed on the show last year and the original poster replied, “Well it looks like he is a model for hipages…”

This post has ultimately led fans to believe that Tom has been hired by The Block 2023 as a tradie; he is a trained plumber who runs his own business, after all.
If this is the case, it’s likely that Tom would gladly accept the paid gig as he and Sarah-Jane only walked away with a $20,000 profit after their house failed to attract a higher bid during the 2022 final auction.
And while the couple ended up selling the $80,000 Ford Ranger they won during Landscape Week, every penny counts now that they’re expecting their second child!
Personally, we hope fans are correct and we do see Tom regularly on The Block 2023 as one of the tradies.
