Whoever said that renovations were all hard work, and no fun has clearly never watched The Block.

In 2014, Cam was first nominated for 'Most Popular Personality on Australian Television' and 'Most Popular Presenter', both of which he won, marking a pivotal moment in the tradie turned presenters career.

Since then he has been nominated an additional four times for his work on The Block and Reno Rumble.

2. Scott Cam was on Backyard Blitz.

In 2000, Scott Cam scored his first-ever television gig on Nine's popular gardening show: Backyard Blitz. 

A show that took home six of its very own Logies, was inspired by backyard improvements that could be done in minutes.

The show ran until 2007 when the network finally laid it to rest.

Although technically not part of the show, Scott Cam may have made the perfect family home – and perhaps even the best house we've ever seen to come off the back of The Block Australia.

Cam's home comes with a 'chill zone' located in the garage, a stunning garden worthy of a wedding and a beautifully hand-painted bathroom. 

It's safe to say Cam knows his way around a reno.
