Controversial Block stars break silence ahead of auction: 'We're still here'

Kylie and Brad broke their silence ahead of The Block auction and the filming of the finale on Saturday, which will air on Sunday night. The pair left the competition with just one week to go, with Kylie telling Brad she didn't want to return for the auction, even if it meant they got no money.

This might not have been entirely true, however. The House 4 couple surprised everyone by appearing on A Current Affair and saying they're 'still here'.

Kylie decided to leave the show after catching Brad flirting with Mimi of House 5, also telling Brad that she had no plans to stay with him after filming of the reality show was done.

This week, however, it appears the couple are happily together and attended Melbourne Cup as a couple on Tuesday, along with their fellow competitors.

They were also spotted on Phillip Island last month, where they posed for photos with viewers at the local pub, confirming they were still working on the house.

Will Kylie and Brad be at The Block auctions?

Scott Cam told A Current Affair host Seb Costello, "[Kylie] didn't talk to me for the last six weeks."

Seb questions Scott about whether he thought Kylie would be at the auction, and the host responds, "I can't answer that question, I don't know."

The reporter also spoke to Mimi and Kristian, who said Mimi has stopped drinking alcohol after "reflecting on the show and saying, 'Well, I don't want to be that person.'"

Mimi says she "still has a lot of love for Kylie and it's reciprocated, and we've all come out the other end."

Maddy and Charlotte of House 1 told the cameras they think "there's a pretty good chance" Kylie and Brad will be back for the auctions.

Kylie and Brad eventually spoke to Seb, hinting that viewers haven't seen the last of them.

"Kylie and Brad are back, and we're told, back together," Seb says.

"We've definitely learned some things along the way about just how much we can actually do, no matter what else has happened or gonna happen, we're still here and we're gonna keep going," Brad tells Seb.

"But did I learn anything?" a newly blonde Kylie asks Brad. "I don't think I [learned anything], I just stuck to my guns."

"She wouldn't admit it if she did," he says.

"We just have to see the ending be the ending, we just want everyone – we love everyone... and we want everyone to come away from this with something achievable and a good result," she adds.

There has never before been a couple that hasn't shown up for the auction, and it doesn't seem like this year will be an exception!

Viewers react to Kylie and Brad's return

Viewers weren't convinced that Kylie and Brad had changed and believed it was all for good PR ahead of the auctions, with one Reddit user writing, "At first I thought it was just going to reflect negatively on Kylie. Was surprised when they opened the door, then it was a nice little PR exercise to try to boost their chances of selling. Pure bulls**t."

"Yep unfortunately," another agreed. "Mimi also on the PR trail before Sunday too. I'm not buying any of their bull dust. They all have seen how disliked they are."

"All for the drama! They’ll be there 🙄," one Instagram user said.
