This year we've got loveable best mates, yuppy newlyweds and tradie couples in the mix and there is no doubt that some personalities will clash.

If you're interested to see what the cast get up to on and off-screen, here's how you can keep up-to-date with them on social media.

The contestants:Kylie and Brad

Kylie and Brad are parents of four from Far North Queensland: Parker, 9, Bentleigh, 6, Steele, 4, and Slade, one.

They complement each other well: Kylie is strong-willed and determined, Brad is a hard worker. It makes them a formidable team on The Block.

They haven't had much experience in the renovation game, only building the home in Cairns they live in now, but that won't hinder them on The Block.

Kristian and Mimi

Kristian and Mimi met officially at their group fitness Christmas party in 2020, after previously training together in the same gym classes and married in a spectacular wedding ceremony last November.

They are polar opposites, with Mimi a perfectionist and Kristian more laidback. The Block is going to be an adventure out of their comfort zone, but they are ready for it.

The couple have renovated the Adelaide house they are currently living in, but they still call themselves new renovators with a very distinct style.

Ricky and Haydn

These loveable larrikins from Victoria have been best mates for 20 years. They spend so much time together they are more like brothers.

They became really close in 2009 after Haydn's father passed away and Ricky lost one of his best mates.

Ricky renovated his apartment in the Melbourne suburb of Seaford, and admits he blew the budget by $70,000.

Other than that, not much renovation experience between them. They know they might struggle with the all-important styling part of their rooms.

Courtney and Grant

Courtney and Grant have been married for three years, and the opportunity to go on The Block has come at a perfect time.

They met in Sydney nine years ago when Grant was a bartender, before Courtney moved to Brisbane and Grant to London.

Their pride and joy is their home in the western Sydney suburb of Denham Court, which they built and styled. Although not having a lot of renovating experience, they are not complete beginners.

They think their work lives, which include design and landscaping backgrounds, will really help them on The Block when it comes to experience.

Jesse and Paige

The youngest couple on The Block this year, Jesse and Paige are getting married at the end of this year and always stick together through thick and thin.

They have been together for seven years and are taking skills from planning their wedding together to building a home on The Block.

When it comes to renovating experience, Jesse and Paige are novices. But they will be full of determination going into The Block.

They have a style in mind, but will be open-minded and ready to learn on the job.

Marty Fox 

After impressing fans last year, real estate guru Marty Fox is back on the judging panel for The Block on Phillip Island. 

The Block in Hampton East was his first proper job in television and he relished it. His initiation was made easier by the on-air chemistry he found with fellow judges  Shaynna Blaze and Darren Palmer. 

Marty leads a very busy life. As well as The Block, he is the co-founder and director of WHITEFOX Real Estate which has offices all around Australia and New Zealand. 

He is also a doting father and husband, with wife Charlotte and three children: Freddy, 7, Olive, 4, and Bonnie, 2.

Foremen:Dan Reilly

After starting as a contestant in 2012, moving up to the role of Foreboy, being promoted to ForeDan and then working alongside Keith Schleigher as Foreman, Dan is moving up yet another rank.

Dan returns to The Block in the role of sole Foreman, after his good friend Keith stepped aside for the Phillip Island series. 

Dan will miss Keith, but he is ready to take on the challenge of running the Island site six days a week. 

Sole Foreman isn't the only new role Dan is preparing for, with he and wife Dani recently announcing that they are expecting their first child together.
