Luke and Jasmin were accused of copying their winning kids’ room from a magazine by judge Shaynna Blaze on Tuesday’s episode of The Block.
And on Sunday’s show, the couple were accused of cheating yet again, this time when it came to their bespoke timber island bench design for their kitchen.
Competing team Daniel and Jade noticed how eerily similar both benches looked, after Luke and Jasmin enlisted the help of a designer shortly after theirs arrived.

After a builder for Luke and Jasmin revealed how their bench was a ‘midnight effort’, foreman Keith Schleiger asked if it was a case of just sheer coincidence or copying.
‘Christian Cole (Daniel and Jade’s island bench designer) came along and put this here… it’s kind of weird how the next day something very similar happens one day later,’ Keith said upon inspecting Luke and Jasmin’s kitchen.
Daniel expressed his doubts in a piece to camera: ‘I did think I revealed it (the bench) a little too early, but it did look a bit different to what we got told it was going to look like… but what can you do?’

Jasmin denied the cheating claims, insisting she was ‘devastated’ to find out Daniel and Jade also have a curved bench.
She even questioned whether it was, in fact, Daniel and Jade who had cheated.
A visibly gutted Daniel later said on camera: ‘I’ll let the public decide at home, because I don’t know what happened on their footage at their house. If they’ve changed or altered it, the cameras will pick that up.’
