A VILLAIN has emerged after Sunday night’s premiere of Channel 9’s Lego Masters.

Viewers went into meltdown on social media, slamming Melbourne contestant Kale’s inability to co-operate with teammate and Nerang local Adam ‘Bilsy’ Bilsboroug­h (pictured).

Kale and Bilsy’s build, entitled Hope, which was a tall artdecor skyscraper, impressed judge Ryan McNaught but caused tension after Kale, a “brick artist and toy photograph­er” steamrolle­d Bilsy’s ideas and “took over” the challenge.

McNaught even reprimande­d Kale for not being a team player, telling him “there is no I in Lego, Kale”.

In a previous interview with the Gold Coast Bulletin, Mr Bilsboroug­h, 34, from Nerang said he was paired with teammate Kale during the audition process and referred to the partnershi­p as “challengin­g”.

“I had never met him before so it was hard to bring our different ideas together and learn how to work as a team,” he said.

“It was a fun learning experience but as you can imagine, it is challengin­g to work with someone you have never met before when people have different visions.

“It was something we had to work through and adapt.”

The show was watched by almost 2.3 million people at its peak viewing, with a national average of about 1.9 million, beating the My Kitchen Rules Grand Final, which was on rival station Channel 7.

It was also the top program across southeast Queensland drawing 311,000 viewers.
