The Block 2025 Han and Can

The Block 2025 has been filled with drama, and controversial contestants Han and Can have been at the centre of most of it. The couple from WA were called out by their fellow contestants for missing a group dinner, and Han recently had a stoush with Foreman Dan.

The pair have told Chattr they see the cast as a “little family” and are close with Sonny and Alicia, so the drama we see on screen might all be for show.

According to New Idea, the nicknames Han and Can were chosen by producers, as the couple usually go by Hannah and Candy back home.

“They weren’t totally comfortable with it at first. But eventually they went along with it for the sake of the show,” a source claimed.

“If someone says ‘Hannah’ or ‘Candy’, they know them personally. But if it’s ‘Han’ and ‘Can’, that’s definitely a Block viewer.”

Could this be why Han and Can seem to be on the outside on TV but are supposedly close behind the scenes with the other contestants?

The pair told Chattr the entire cast received matching tattoos at The Block launch and stayed together in an Airbnb after filming.

“Later in the season, we became especially close with Sonny and Leish, we supported each other through the highs and lows and built a bond based on genuine care,” they said.

An insider spills on Han and Can’s reaction to backlash

Han and Can have been through a rough few weeks on The Block, and viewer reaction to the pair hasn’t been very positive. An insider told New Idea it was “a bit of a shock” for the duo, but claimed they understand how reality TV works.

“Honestly [it was] disappointing for the girls. When the show’s over, they’ll be looking forward to moving on from the ‘Han and Can’ brand if things keep up the way they have been on the show,” the insider spilled.

“It’s the nature of these shows, and the girls get that.”

One thing’s for sure: Han and Can are providing elite entertainment and keeping viewers hooked. Fingers crossed they don’t have any other massive setbacks in the next few weeks.

The Block 2025 airs on Sundays at 7:30pm and Monday – Wednesday at 7pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
