David ‘Hughesy’ Hughes was a surprise attendee at this year’s The Block auctions, armed with a paddle in hand suggesting he was eager to buy one of the homes.
Dave Hughes attended the Block auctions on Sunday, where he expressed interest in buying the final home – and then his wife got involved.
Afterwards, an agent said Hughes - who also owns a home in St Kilda - was “bringing his wife back later tonight” to look at the property in Melbourne’s Hampton East.“I was accosted as I left the auction, trying to get out of there, because one house didn’t sell and I said, ‘I’ll go talk to my wife’,” Hughes began, before calling Holly live on-air so she could explain what happened.
“I was being asked by students and teachers,” she said. “You came home and as we were getting into bed, you said, ‘How would you have felt if I just bought that house?’ And I said, ‘Furious’.”
