The Block saw the return of this contentious couple

The Block has had its fair share of drama this season, and it still keeps coming with a contentious couple returning to our screens.

The WA couple left the show halfway through the show due to mental health reasons.

Jesse and Paige returned to The Block overnight to check up on House 1, previously their house which is now Maddy and Charlotte’s.

Why did Jesse and Paige return?

They were invited back by Maddy and Charlotte, to see how the girls have fared on house one and for them to also see their ex-contestants.

Maddy dished on what Jesse and Paige liked and didn’t like.

“We know she loves Courtney and Grant’s and thought that was beautiful. She didn’t love Kylie and Brad’s house,” Maddy said.

The couple looked very different to what they did a few months ago. Seeming brighter and happier, the time away from The Block looks to have made a positive impact on the couple.

However, some fans weren’t happy with the way the other contestants were treating Jesse and Paige compared to how they treated Maddy and Charlotte.

Taking to Instagram, one viewer said, “Maddy & Charlotte showed their grace and maturity. The other contestants should be embarrassed by the way they’ve treated the girls. Their over the top reactions to seeing Jesse & Paige, who they knew for 3 or 4 weeks, compared to how they treated Maddy & Charlotte was hard to witness.”

Another said, “I think this nice [sic], Maddy & Charlotte are amazing to have done this. I would have done the same for Jesse & Paige”

Why did Jesse and Paige leave The Block?

An engaged couple from WA, Jesse and Paige left the show halfway through filming, citing mental health issues.

During the September 9 episode, Paige confessed she had been struggling with her mental health.

“I just haven’t been myself at all, I’ve really mentally struggled,” she told co-stars Kristian and Mimi.

It’s so good to see Jesse and Paige looking happier since their time away from The Block.

The Block auction will be held on Saturday November 9.

The Block airs on Sundays at 7pm and Mon – Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
