WARNIE USED TO LIVE ON THE BLOCK!
Here’s a snappy real estate, um, pitch for this year’s Block houses – Shane Warne grew up in Bronte Court! And the 52-year-old sportsman’s childhood home, on the corner of Bronte Court and Thomas Street in the Melbourne suburb of Hampton, was actually used as the production office for the show this season.
According to a TV insider, the former spin king “no doubt played cricket in the cul-de-sac” before his family sold their home in 1976. The three-bedroom cottage, which last changed hands in 2018, also contained host Scott Cam’s office space – the scene of this year’s infamous cheating scandal.
