With five spaces to deliver in one mammoth week, The Block’s Sonny and Alicia have recruited some extra hands.

And it’s someone you may recognise – Han and Can’s ex-builder Ben who was let go just a few weeks ago…

Only this time he came with proof of a text exchange between him and his former team. Exactly why? Catch the video above.

No one was more shocked than Han to see his return.

“After the way he spoke to me,” Han revealed. “They were quite gross actually.”

She said Ben had sent her a rude text that was “highly upsetting”. Ben’s response? “Definitely news to me.”

different story to Han. (Nine)
From what we know, Han and Can let Ben go due to budgeting reasons. Ben said he got a “long-winded text” from Han apologising for how everything went down.

Although “disappointed” by what happened, Ben certainly didn’t think he was rude – and was willing to show the texts to prove it.

OK, he wasn’t rude besides one “mean” comment about House 2’s new builder, Shan that we cannot repeat!

But you can can hear it in the video above.

Han said Ben’s put on an “extremely brave face” to come back to site after “talking to someone like that”.

Safe to say, things will be very awkward on site moving forward.
