Sunday 26 June 2022 04:27 AM The Block 'quitter' Elle Ferguson works with Kim Kardashian's shapewear brand ... trends now

Elle Ferguson has cut a lucrative new deal just days after she was brutally sledged by Scott Cam for quitting The Block after just two days on the building site. 

As reported by Emerald City, the influencer, 36, is officially working with Kim Kardashian to promote the American reality star's shapewear brand Skims. 

Elle is the only Australia celebrity to partner with the brand, and has modelled pieces from the latest Skims range in a photoshoot on Instagram. 

'Kim to me is a constant inspiration. She proves you can do it all,' Elle told Emerald City on Sunday.  

'I remember not so long ago there was a presumption that if you were modelling the underwear that's all you could do, but now you can wear the underwear and also run the business,' she said. 

It comes days after Scott Cam defended his claim that Elle and Joel were 'unAustralian' for quitting The Block. 

Elle and Joel downed tools in April - just 48 hours into production - after his mother suffered a nasty fall at home in Adelaide. 

'Obviously I wish Joel and Elle success in the future. It's just that they created a fair bit of chaos for us here in the first 48 hours,' Scott said on Friday during a media event in country Victoria.  

'The show... we put a lot of time and money into the start of our show and then we had to rejig the whole thing... the whole promos had to be re-shot,' he explained.
