As the oldest contestants on The Block this year, Gold Coast couple Sonny, 44, and Alicia, 42, say they quickly became the resident Mum and Dad on set.
“Yeah, we took that role this year – and cooked up some meals from time to time for everybody,” Alicia tells Woman’s Day.
They also tried to foster a friendlier vibe on site than last year’s Block.
“I think after watching last season and watching what Mads and Charlotte went through, it broke my heart for those girls,” says Alicia of last year’s winners, who were the target of cruel behaviour.
“I said to Sonny, we wouldn’t have even had to have a conversation. If we had two girls that were there that couldn’t move a washing machine in because it was too heavy, I know that without even having to ask, Sonny would have just been down there helping them. They just seemed so lovely.”
