The Block foreman draws back to S20 guest

The Block foreman Keith Schleiger has scaled back his involvment in the upcoming season on Nine.

His sidekick, Dan Reilly will take up the key responsibilities.

“With The Block shooting on Phillip Island this year Keith had to step back from his full time duties because of his commitment to raising his two daughters,” a Nine spokesperson has told the Sunday Herald Sun.

“He couldn’t come to the island for three months straight. It was literally a bridge too far. But Block fans will be pleased to hear that he has been involved with filming for our 20th season as a special guest.”

Schleiger has also launched his own business, Keith’s Bathrooms and Renovations.

Filming on a 20th season is reportedly due to conclude in a month, with the show expected after the Olympics.
