This year marks two decades on the air for Channel Nine’s renovation show The Block.

And the stars of the hit reality show were spotted shooting their promotional video at the beach on Phillip Island in Victoria last week. 

Long-time judge Darren Palmer showed off his muscular figure and rippling abs sporting only a pair of tiny red shorts as he shot a Baywatch inspired scene for the trailer.

Hosts Scott Cam and Shelley Craft made appearances in their usual work gear as they walked across the sand, pausing for touch ups.

Judges Shaynna Blaze and Marty Fox looked stylish as they showed up for filming ahead of the highly-anticipated anniversary season.

Builder Dan Reilly also made an appearance down at the beach in a skit that appeared to be influenced by the 2000 survival drama film ‘Castaway’ starring Oscar winner Tom Hanks.

The tactic paid off tenfold with the Sydney couple taking home The Block crown when they sold their Hampton East house for $5million.

Daily Mail has reached out to Channel Nine about the strategy.

Steph and Gian went on to say ‘it was a no brainer’ to secure the same auctioneer which helped Omar Slaimankhel and Ozman ‘Oz’ Abu Malik land the win last year.

The western Sydney mates landed a shocking $1.6million in profits when they sold their Gisborne home during season 18 of the Block in 2022.

Steph and Gian smashed the record win by selling their house on Charming St for $1.65million over reserve, receiving an extra $100,000 for their win.
