Auction day on The Block has gone off with a bang.
The Blockheads gathered in the Victorian town of Daylesford with all the contestants arriving to the site on Saturday.
All five teams were onsite for their auctions, alongside Shelley Craft, Scott Cam and Marty Fox.
It looked to be an exciting – and emotional – day, as the five teams nervously put their houses up for sale, hoping to walk away with a tidy profit.
But one duo appeared very emotional as they left their property after the bidding.
Britt and her partner Taz embraced one another and appeared to break down in tears after the auction.

Britt looked glamorous for auction day in a long sparkly gold dress as she walked into her property ahead of the bidding.
They were also joined by Emma and Ben, who couldn’t wipe the smile off their faces as they walked alongside one another.
Emma left little to the imagination in a revealing backless dress as she waved to fans.
Matt and Robby also looked dapper and appeared nervous as they waited for the final results.
Han and Can as well as Sonny and Alicia were also spotted onsite and held umbrellas as they walked to their homes.
Viewers hoping for a surprise appearance from Adrian Portelli at the anticipated Block finale are set to be disappointed.
While hopeful bidders converged on the site in the rural Victorian town, Adrian was more than 800 kilometres away, touching down in Sydney in his private jet.

Earlier this year, the controversial Block bidder said he would not return, fuelling speculation that the network had shown him the door.
Scott Cam opened up about rumours surrounding Adrian being banned from the show earlier this month.
‘We didn’t ban him; that’s something he [Adrian] said,’ Scott announced on Fox 101.9’s Fifi, Fev and Nick breakfast show.
Scott continued: ‘It’s a public auction, anyone can turn up, we just kindly said, “What do you reckon… you had a good run on the auctions, why don’t we leave it to some families to try and buy the houses”.’
Ahead of the anticipated auction, Block stars gave their thoughts on Adrian’s auction absence to Daily Mail and Nine’s recent Upfronts event.
Ben and Emma appeared to have differing opinions on the situation, with Ben saying: ‘I don’t think he’s coming, which is a shame for everyone.’
Emma, however, had a different take, interjecting with: ‘I think it’s great – it opens up the door for others.’
It was a similar sentiment shared by Robby and Mat, who welcomed a more open auction field.

Not even the dreary weather conditions could dampen the mood of the excited contestants
He made TV history in 2024 when he purchased all five Phillip Island properties on the renovation show for more than $15 million.
‘It opens the door for bigger and better players,’ Mat said.
Sonny and Alicia, meanwhile, took a more laissez-faire approach to the situation.
‘They’ve just asked to keep it open for everybody,’ Alicia said.
‘He’ll do whatever he wants and I’m sure he’d be welcomed if he came.’
Sonny added: ‘If he was to show up and buy someone’s house, so be it.’
