The Block Australia 2025 has kicked off in the picturesque The Block Daylesford setting, and Robby and Mat, the Adelaide-based barber–hairdresser duo, are stealing the show with their infectious energy, humour, and bold ideas.
But now, fans are buzzing with fresh rumours — could The Block fan favourites soon swap blueprints for the jungles of South Africa on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! 2026?
Meet Robby and Mat: The Block 2025’s Adelaide Best Mates
Robby, 37, a barber and business owner with four Attaboy salons and a café, and Mat, 41, a world-renowned hairdresser behind MJ Hair with over 32,000 Instagram followers, joined The Block 2025 with zero renovation experience but unmatched charisma.
Their story began 15 years ago when Mat first cut Robby’s hair — and their straight and gay best-friend bond has been unbreakable ever since.
- Robby’s Drive: A former National Premier League soccer player and new dad to baby Brooks, Robby left his partner Alyssa and four-month-old son to chase this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
- Mat’s Flair: A former elite figure skater, Mat’s resilience and eye for detail bring personality to every room — even though he’d never watched The Block before joining!
Their motto? “Laugh until we cry.” That energy has quickly made them fan favourites of The Block Daylesford 2025.
The Block 2025 Performance So Far
Bold Robby and Mat Wine Cellar Gamble
Early in the season, Robby and Mat made headlines with their ambitious underground wine cellar project under House 5 — a daring $100,000 idea they believe could be their auction game-changer.
Originally planning to use a shipping container, they pivoted to concrete walls after Scott Cam’s advice.
By Episode 2, they had engineering and surveyor approvals, pending council sign-off. The project, kept under wraps with temporary fencing, could set them apart from other The Block Australia 2025 contestants.
Navigating The Block Plumbing Challenges
With no renovation background, Robby and Mat leaned on business skills from running salons to manage tradies and tight deadlines.
They overcame multiple setbacks, including the bathroom waterproofing issue and tile redo in Episode 4, yet maintained their trademark positivity.
Their quick learning and sense of humour have made them relatable, helping fans connect with their journey on The Block Australia 2025.
Auction Dreams and Fan Love
Robby and Mat entered The Block 2025 auction hopeful, targeting at least $200,000 profit each.
Though their house sold for a $109,000.10 profit (split between them), they took the result in stride — celebrating fellow contestants Britt and Taz, who won with $420,000 profit.
“We’re so happy for them,” Mat said. “We started together, we’ll finish together, and we wanted everyone to do well.”
Despite the emotional rollercoaster, their authenticity and humour won the nation’s heart — with many fans calling them the best mates The Block has ever had.
From Daylesford to the Jungle: Rumours of I’m A Celebrity 2026
After The Block 2025 finale, whispers began swirling — could Robby be heading to I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! 2026?
While Mat firmly told reporters, “I’m not going to be eating bugs or touching slithery things,” sources close to the duo told Pedestrian.tv that Robby is open to joining the upcoming season.
It’s a surprising twist, given that they both previously said they’d never do reality TV again.
“Once is enough,” Mat joked. “I’ve got PTSD after this.”
But Robby hinted, “This isn’t the last you’ll see of us.”
Could this be the comeback fans are hoping for? Only time will tell whether The Block’s funniest duo will trade power tools for jungle trials.
Will Robby and Mat Return to The Block?
Host Scott Cam shut down rumours of an All Stars season, and Robby and Mat confirmed they wouldn’t return even if it did happen.
Still, they left a lasting impression on The Block Australia 2025, and with their names now linked to I’m A Celebrity 2026, it’s clear their reality TV journey isn’t over just yet.
Why Robby and Mat Are Still the Talk of The Block
- Entertainment Factor: Their humour and chemistry make them standout personalities in The Block universe.
- Big-Picture Thinking: Their innovative wine cellar idea will likely inspire future contestants.
- Fan Connection: Viewers love their authenticity and friendship — a refreshing break from past drama-filled seasons.
