Former Block stars Jess Eva and Norm Hogan sell $24,000 Russell Island building block in one week

Former The Block stars Jess Eva and Norm Hogan have sold their building block in Queensland’s Russell Island, within seven days of listing it.

The reality television stars, who starred on the 2018 season of the renovation show, purchased the land in July 2019 for $17,000.

Jess, who is currently a co-host on Triple M’s breakfast show, and her husband Norm recently sold the block for $24,000 within one week of its listing.

The radio host hold The Daily Telegraph, the couple had hoped to build on the land this year, rent it out and then move back in 15 years but they ‘didn’t have time’.

The couple rent a home in Sydney’s Tennyson Point, which is 15 minutes from where she co-hosts Moonman in the Morning with Lawrence Mooney and Chris Page.

Jess and Norm became household names after starring in the 2018 season of The Block, and share son Fred, five, and daughter Matilda, two.

During the show’s finale, the couple sold their apartment at auction for $2,859,000, making a tidy profit of $209,000.

Jess told Media Week in October last year, she couldn’t watch the first few episodes of last year’s The Block, due to post traumatic stress.

‘I saw them (the new contestants) pulling up in their cars on the first day and I thought, “Oh God, I’m not ready”. But, as time has gone on, I’ve really liked it and some of the contestants have reached out to chat,’ she said at the time.

She also recalled telling the contestants that the ‘media scrutiny doesn’t last forever’.

‘We’re all just normal people and you get tossed into a spotlight, so at times you can feel a bit stressed,’ she continued.

‘You just have to think at the end of the day that 45,000 couples applied for the show and you were one of the five couples that were chosen.
