The Block‘s Dan and Carleen admit they’re struggling to cope with the backlash they’ve received since appearing on the popular Channel 9 reality show.
The baby boomers from Western Australia have been consistently slammed on social media for their behaviour — particularly Dan, 55, who clashed with a number of his fellow contestants throughout filming.
His wife agreed: “It’s been hard for us to watch because that’s not what Dan’s like at all.”
Dan also revealed the couple were having financial troubles trying to support their adult sons Jacob, 26, Xavier, 24, and Oliver, 21.
Listen: Monique Bowley explains why we’re still watching The Block. Post continues below.
“We’re actually going broke doing this… The biggest challenge has been trying to get continual work and giving the boys a good education,” he said.
“You push yourself to give your kids a better life.”

My daughter is even worse, she baby sits 3 men aged 26, 23 and 21...she calls them her boys..I call them young men and my grandsons. She goes broke and begs off me because of them.
Why are they supporting three adult children??? The adult children should be working to support themselves, that's what adults do!
