The Block host Scott Cam was almost reduced to tears this week after the Blockheads paid him a heartwarming tribute.

Tuesday night’s episode saw something of a role reversal with the contestants summoning the long-serving Nine star to Scotty’s Sawmill.

‘I’ve literally just been told there’s a surprise for me in my sawmill and I genuinely have no idea what it is,’ Scott narrated as he made his way to the mystery meeting.

Upon entering the workshop, he was greeted by the current cast who were assembled with smiles on their faces.

‘What are we doing?’ Scott asked. ‘Am I going to get some feedback?

Appointed spokesperson Sonny stepped up to deliver a speech that threatened to make Scotty choke up.

‘Scotty, what a pleasure to be standing up here in your place,’ Sonny began.

‘Who would’ve thought in 11 and a half weeks that we have been here we’ve not only built a whole house but we get the opportunity to take your place in front of the camera.

‘Don’t worry mate, I won’t get too comfortable.’

Sonny then thanked Scott for his even-tempered approach to dealing with the reality renovators.

‘For all of us that stand here in front of you, and no doubt the previous Blockheads, you’ve been so supportive and it’s not often that you get any thanks,’ he said.

All that we seem to do is whinge about our scores, ask for more money, bicker between ourselves and generally be a thorn in your side, so today we get to say thanks.’

Sonny then remarked on Scotty’s child-like glee at using the Wood-Mizer portable sawmill in the workshop, before revealing that the cast had banded together to give Scotty one of his own.

‘We’ve all come down here at one stage and found you tinkering away on the saws and the Wood-Mizer,’ he said.

‘Seeing you on the Wood-Mizer on the first day was like seeing a child going down a slide for the first time.

‘We’ve managed to commandeer a portable Wood-Mizer LX 50 of your very own.’

Scotty was clearly taken aback at the magnanimous gesture, a fact not missed by Sonny’s partner Alicia.

‘I thought he was going to cry,’ she said to camera.

A clearly chuffed Scotty humbly addressed the cast, overcome with the surprise gift.

‘This is the nicest thing that’s ever happened to me in my life, it’s absolutely incredible,’ he said.

‘That is so unreal, I’ve never been given a gift before.’

He continued: ‘This is unprecedented for me. I thank you so much and I feel which l’ve never done before, a group hug.’

As everyone gathered around Scotty’s new toy, he was also quick to heap praise on the 2025 cast members.

‘I’ve been at Channel Nine for 26 years and you guys have been my best,’ he said.

‘You can go to the ads now before I cry.’
