The Block 2022
VIC Couple
Tom & Sarah-Jane
Married parents of one, Tom & Sarah-Jane own a house in the Melbourne suburb of Gladstone Park and have a caravan at Lake Eildon in regional Victoria.
While they haven’t renovated as many houses as some of the stronger couples in Block history, they make up for that with sheer guts and determination. Sarah-Jane will take on the role of stylist and shopper, and while she hasn’t had much experience that won’t bother her one bit. Tom is a successful plumber running his own business and employing subcontractors. With a dry sense of humour, he is set to be very well liked on The Block, and he’s not afraid of showing himself.
Authentic and dynamic are two words that can be used to describe this couple. They might argue a lot on The Block, but within five minutes they are back to their loud and loving selves.
“We were a casual fling that spiralled into getting married and having a kid and now ending up on The Block,” Tom said.
