The Block’s Shelley Craft reveals her very surprising career change

She has been a familiar face on our televisions for many years, and now Shelley Craft has made a big career change.  

The Block presenter revealed that she has fittingly become a qualified real estate agent.

The 44-year-old explained to 9Entertainment that she has always had a passion for the industry and wanted to ‘upskill’.  

‘I’ve always loved real estate and loved design, but I wanted to find my own place too within the industry and within the show,’ she said.

‘My husband [Christian Sergiacomi] is a real estate agent up here in Byron Bay. We have our own agency. So, I was basically just upskilling in both fronts.’ 

Unfortunately, she won’t be selling any of the homes on this year’s season of The Block.

Shelley explained that she isn’t licensed in Victoria where the series is filmed, but she is hoping that will change in the future.  

‘I have my NSW license so I’m not able to practise in Victoria, but that would just be a bridging course I imagine,’ she added.  

Fans will also be thrilled to know that she hasn’t given up presenting and will still be a regular fixture on the Channel Nine reno show. 

The news come after it was revealed that applications are officially open for the 2021 season. 

Despite only being one week into the show’s 2020 series, Channel Nine are already on the hunt for its next batch of blockheads.

Reality TV star hopefuls can now apply for the renovation program’s 17th season, as a casting call out officially went live on Monday.

The Block’s 2020 season continues on Sunday from 7pm on Nine
