With Foreman Dan Reilly reportedly preparing for paternity leave, some viewers have been wondering whether former foreman Keith Schleiger could step back onto site.
But New Idea has reported that an on-set source claims a Keith comeback is unlikely because of alleged tension between Keith and host Scott Cam.
And yes, the internet has already found its favourite kind of evidence: Instagram follows.
The Instagram Detail Fans Noticed
Keith still appears to follow Scott on Instagram, but Scott does not appear to follow him back. On its own, that does not confirm a feud, but it has added fuel to the chatter around where things stand.
The report also claims Keith and Scott had clashed behind the scenes in the past, although those claims have not been publicly confirmed by either of them.
Keith left his full-time role on The Block in 2024, with Nine confirming at the time that he was no longer a full-time cast member.
Keith later said he had stepped away to spend more time with his daughters and focus on launching his own business, while also avoiding the heavy commute to Phillip Island.
Could Keith Still Return?
A return has not been announced, and the current chatter remains firmly in rumour territory.
If Dan does step away for paternity leave, fans will be watching closely to see who Nine brings in, and whether Keith's Block days really are over for now.
