The Block contestants Han and Can have hit another major hurdle.

During Wednesday’s episode of the Channel Nine renovation show, host Scott Cam informed the fiery Western Australian couple that they were $6000 over budget, leaving the pair devastated.

The budget blowout now has the duo facing the likelihood that they won’t be able to complete both their landscaping and the shed they’ve dubbed their ‘art studio’.

Scott did not hold back as he delivered the bad news after checking the balance sheets on their build.

‘Of the cash that I gave you in the original budget, you guys were $80,000 over that – gone,’ he told the pair during the walk-through.

He also reminded Can and Han that they managed to burn through the $50,000 they received earlier in the week.

‘I didn’t realise how grave the situation was,’ a visibly upset Can said.

‘There’s massive concern about completing.

‘It’s maybe the worst day on The Block.’

During the episode, Scott appeared to blame the budget issue on the couple’s plans to convert their garden shed into an ‘art studio’, which requires plastering and insulation.

There were dramatic scenes later in the episode as a visibly distraught Han tried to complete work on the shed on her own.

Blockhead Britt later turned up to offer help, telling Han that she could use her chippies.

‘Your buyer is not my buyer. You’re not my competition. I want you guys to do well,’ Britt said before giving Han a comforting hug.

Meanwhile, Britt faced opposition at home base as partner Taz reminded her that Can and Han had given them a hard time earlier in the week over their deck.

‘Kill them with kindness,’ Britt replied.

It comes after The Block descended into chaos during the inspections on Monday as simmering tensions between two rival teams boiled over.

Fan favourites Britt and Taz launched a stinging critique of Sonny and Alicia’s layout – but the move quickly backfired when fellow contestants hit back, slamming the West Australians for major painting blunders in their own build.

Alicia also turned her fire on rival Can, mocking House 4’s near miss on the scoreboard.

The fiery exchanges came just days after Sonny dobbed in Britt and Taz for working ahead on their alfresco deck, a breach that saw Foreman Dan ban the pair from continuing construction.

Adding further fuel, the couple’s plan to transform half their shed into a wine bar drew criticism from Site Manager Aidan, who told them bluntly: ‘It’s a shed – make it a shed.’

Sonny and Alicia, by contrast, confirmed their shed would remain traditional.

The fallout extended to dinner discussions, where several contestants called for harsher penalties, including suggestions that Britt and Taz should be forced to rip up their deck.

Han, still frustrated after losing by just half a point in judging, said: ‘They’re cops, they should know, you break the rules you get penalised.’
