Josh and Elyse win and taking home $547,000 after house sells to comedian Dave Hughes.

Josh and Elyse win after surprise $3m bid from Dave Hughes. It is said that 1st place was Elyse and Josh, with $ 447,000 profit and $ 100,000 in prize money. It's true!

CONGRATULATIONS! This young couple is the most popular to win the competition. It’s believed the comedian and his wife plan to use it as an investment property.

THE BLOCK’s Josh Barker and Elyse Knowles have won the reality TV renovation competition, and all thanks to comedian Dave Hughes.

Hughes has bought the five-bedroom Regent Street apartment in Elsternwick in Melbourne for $ 3.067 million on Saturday, the sale $ 447,000 over the $2.62 million reserve. Hughes was a surprise bidder and only registered that morning.

Elyse said that that’s life changing. Oh, breathe. I’m still like!

Everything closed with noting that from the strong start to the day the auction had disappeared and other couples were unlucky. With another 1700 properties going under the hammer, it was the highest number of auctions on Saturday in Melbourne's history. And the remaining homes had a hit.
