Scott Cam, the award-winning host of The Block has had a tough 2020 like the rest of us.

The seasons just keep getting more challenging for the star and it's got him considering hanging up his nail bag.

"Ah, the old nail bag!" Cam, 58, says to TV WEEK over the phone. "I did a lot of work in lockdown and I had the bag on every day. I did one of the bedrooms at home, I enclosed the verandah and things like that… but I do need to slow down as time goes on.

"I'm heading toward 60 and you've got to slow down when it comes down to those tools. You can't be swinging the hammer like you used to!"

However, he's confirmed to fans that he's not retiring anytime soon.

"I mean, what a job!" he exclaims. "What a job to come to work on a building site with all your mates, hang out for three months and build an incredible show, houses or units - then sit down and watch it!"

After being scouted by a TV producer in a pub, Cam has made "about ten" different building-style shows for the Nine network.

"It's always up my alley, talking about building and working on the tools – I'm probably a bit old to be working on the tools, I like supervising and pointing the finger these days - but it's been fantastic and I'm very lucky to be still there 20 years down the track."
