Early in episode one of the 19th season of The Block, fans were made aware that Neale Whitaker was taking a step back from the show after 13 years. 

"It's been an amazing honour really," said Whitaker about his time on The Block. 

The announcement left many wondering who would replace the design expert, but only momentarily, as the show quickly revealed real estate mogul Marty Fox would be joining the panel indefinitely.
