The new season of The Block is well underway, with Scott Cam and resident judges Darren Palmer, Shaynna Blaze and Neale Whittaker all returning to our screens for the biggest Block yet!

While there have been plenty of rumours flying around regarding who the contestants might be, how many teams this season would have and even how many apartments would be renovated, Channel Nine finally set the record straight, releasing the first official trailer and giving us the answers we've been so desperately waiting for.

The much-anticipated promo features Scotty Cam and the new contestants cruising around St Kilda in a red Kombi listening to I Get Around by the Beach Boys. We get our first glimpse at the five teams as they pull up and spill out onto the footpath in front of the infamous Gatwick Hotel. Out of a record-breaking 45,000 entries here are the ten contestants selected for The Block 2018.
