Why Dave Hughes didn't buy the final Block house
David ‘Hughesy’ Hughes was the surprise guest at this year's The Block auctions, and the Aussie comedian was keen on buying the final home to go on auction – Leah and Ash’s house.
Hughes was one move away from buying House 2 - which was passed in after it failed to hit reserve - but his wife blocked him from buying the home.
“I was accosted as I left the auction, trying to get out of there, because one house didn’t sell and I said, ‘I’ll go talk to my wife’,” Hughes said on KIIS FM’s Hughesy, Ed & Erin on Tuesday morning.
The radio host then called his wife Holly live-on-air so she could explain the reason why they did not buy House 2.
Holly revealed that she "was being asked by students and teachers,” about whether or not the couple bought the Block house.
“You [Hughes] came home and as we were getting into bed, you said, ‘How would you have felt if I just bought that house?’ And I said, ‘Furious’," Holly revealed.
She then called out her husband, claiming that he only wanted to buy the house to "show off".
“If you bought a third house [in Melbourne] without consulting with me …” she said.
“He never expressed any interesting in investing in that part of Melbourne, it’s so random, he would’ve just been buying a house to show off.
“He had not looked at the houses or anything. He hadn’t watched an episode.”
Although Hughes didn't get a property this season, his previous Block buy in 2017 was a huge success.
