The Block’s Tom and Sarah-Jane revealed they suffered a $100,000 loss while filming the Channel Nine show earlier this year.
The couple revealed on Instagram that the $20,000 they earned at an auction does not cover their bills, mortgage or childcare for their daughter Cleo.
“Basically, you get paid $100 a day [per person]Sara explained.

‘[After childcare]We immediately had $80 left over to pay all our bills at home – our payments, mortgage, utilities, ongoing payment for our food, feeding and clothing for our daughter, everything.
They were forced to use $40,000 of their savings to make up the difference.
Sarah claimed Tom lost $40,000 because he didn’t work for three months, while she lost about $20,000.

“So you’re in the red! Financially it was a big bombshell for us,” she added.
“But you take that risk, money is never guaranteed, we just didn’t consider how much you spend when you’re not working.”
During the finale of The Block, their property had a starting price of $4.08 million and sold for $4.1 million, meaning they went home with just $20,000 for their efforts.

The couple also took to Instagram to let their fans know the disappointing result meant they had sold their Ford Ute.
“Honestly, Ford Australia saved us financially and we are so grateful that they gave such a generous award to the show that we were able to win at the time!”
Sarah explained: “Our plan was to keep it forever, but we had to pay back our lost money to get on the show.”
