The Block contestant shakeup! Blue couple leaves show mysteriously and are ... trends now
Newly released photos from a promotional shoot for The Block have all but confirmed that a pair of contestants have left the show, only to be replaced with two new cast-members.
Earlier this month, the Channel Nine reality show was rocked by rumours that a team had already walked off the job two weeks into filming.

Meanwhile, two previously unseen women dressed in swim wear and pink caps were spotted with the cast members, suggesting they are a last minute addition to the show.
The shock sighting follows reports that the Western Australian-based Blue Team were not forcibly removed the show, but chose to voluntarily leave.

'As soon as producers realised these guys were out, the decisions on who could replace them started and there were a few options discussed.'
They added that several previous cast members were 'begging for a second chance' to appear on the show - but these snaps appear to confirm they did not return.
