Is Scott Cam leaving The Block? Nine star lands another TV gig as filming wraps for renovation show
As filming of the upcoming series of The Block wraps up, the long-serving host already has a new project in the works.
The television tradie, 62, will appear alongside three-time Olympian Dr Jana Pittman, 42, to host a two-part series all about identical twins.
Australia's Most Identical will see 100 sets of twins undertake a raft of challenges and tests in an effort to be crowned Australia's most identical siblings.
The series will see UK TV presenters Dr Xand and Dr Chris van Tulleken, themselves identical twins, set the challenges, while Australian twin experts Professor Sarah Wilson and Professor Jeff Craig will analyse the results in conjunction with Twin Research Australia.

It was a role Cam was born to play, as he is the father of twins, Bill and Sarah, 26. The reality veteran also shares another son Charlie, 29, with his wife of more than 30 years Ann.
Meanwhile Pittman welcomed twins - Quinlan and Willow - back in 2022, expanding her brood to six.
She shares Quinlan and Willow, along with Emily, nine, Jemima, eight, and Charlie, two, with husband Paul Gatward, as well as Cornelis, 18, with first husband Chris Rawlinson.
It's been a long road to get the series to screens, with Nine announcing Australia's Most Identical as part of its 2024 lineup.
Fans need no fret about Cam's future on The Block, with the popular star confirming he has no plans on leaving the show earlier his year.
Meanwhile, Cam recently revealed that he has become a grandfather for the first time.
He shared a gallery of photos to social media in May confirming his son Charlie and his partner Amber had welcomed their first child, a beautiful girl.
The Sydney-born presenter revealed in the caption the birth happened last month and he is now going public: 'As of five weeks ago, I became a grandfather to beautiful Tiggy.
'I'm so proud of Charlie and Amber. She is absolutely gorgeous.'
It's certainly been a busy time for Cam, who was recently revealed as being the second highest paid small screen star in the land on a formidable $2.4million.
He is sitting comfortable behind Today host Karl Stefanovic on $2.8million and ahead of another Nine colleague, Andy Lee, on $2million.
The Nine star has been busy with the anticipated 21st season of the reality show in Daylesford, Victoria.
It seems fans will soon get to see the fruits of his efforts with Block foreman Dan Reilly teasing the new series was imminent.
Reilly took to his social media on Sunday to share a gallery of snaps featuring cast and crew from the Daylesford construction site in rural Victoria.
While he was careful not to show off any of the homes featured in the upcoming season, a glimpse of what appears to be completed structures can be seen in the background of one photo.
Aerial photos released in April revealed that the 2025 season will feature some massive homes.
The sprawling construction site located in the tiny rural getaway, 112km from Melbourne, features five blocks.
All of the two-storey dwellings are built as a 'H' design layout with courtyard spaces in front and back of the home.
It comes after claims that the upcoming season allegedly hit a serious snag which had caused production to be delayed.
An industry insider exclusively told Daily Mail Australia in January that filming was set to commence in Daylesford that month but was pushed back.
Production on the popular Channel Nine reality renovation series was slated to begin in February after being delayed for a month.

Wimbledon goes walkabout! Cate Blanchett, Rebel Wilson and Russell Crowe serve up sophistication on Centre Court as Aussie stars lead arrivals on day two of Championships
Australia dominated the Royal Box at Centre Court on Tuesday, as Cate Blanchett, Russell Crow and Rebel Wilson led the stars arriving for day two of the Wimbledon Championships 2025. Used to blazing summers Down Under, the trio of Aussie movie stars appeared to fare much better at braving the sweltering heatwave during the outing at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. The Met Office has said temperatures could hit 36C (97F) after Monday saw the hottest start to Wimbledon on record and a peak of 33.1C (91.6F) in London. Two-time Oscar winner Cate, 56, was the picture of elegance in a pale blue double-breasted blazer and matching plaid patterned trousers. She shielded her face beneath a pair of mirrored aviator shades as she took her seat, bringing along her mother June to watch the action. Fellow actress Rebel, 45, soon came to sit beside her, cutting a radiant figure in a lacy pink dress with gold studded heels. Used to blazing summers Down Under, the trio of Aussie movie stars appeared to fare much better at braving the sweltering heatwave during the outing at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (Russell pictured) The Pitch Perfect star was joined by her wife Ramona Agruma, who nailed summer chic in a silver and white striped dress under a coordinating unbuttoned shirt. The couple, who wed last year in a ceremony in Sardinia, looked as loved-up as ever as they posed together before the afternoon of tennis kicked off. While Russell, 61, got suited and booted for the occasion, looking dapper in a classic black suit and collared white shirt. The Gladiator star added a boldly coloured and plaid patterned tie and orange tinted sunglasses, as he laughed with his fiancée Britney Theriot. Britney looked besotted as she cosied up to Russell, putting on a sophisticated display in a floral pink dress with a polka dot scarf. The couple, who started dating in 2020, sparked speculation they are set to tie the knot after the actress began stepping out with a diamond ring. They are thought to be eyeing up an Italian wedding after reportedly visiting a church during a visit to Rome last year, with an insider telling Woman's Day: 'Italy was always going to be their wedding destination. 'Every time they go there, they come back more in love. It's always been their dream to get married there.' She shielded her face beneath a pair of mirrored aviator shades as she took her seat, bringing along her mother June to watch the action The couple, who wed last year in a ceremony in Sardinia, looked as loved-up as ever as they posed together before the afternoon of tennis kicked off The slew of famous faces looked engrossed in the action on the court, as reigning women's champion Barbora Krejcikova took on Alexandra Eala in the Ladies' Singles first round match. British number one Jack Draper, now ranked fourth in the world, is facing off against Argentina's Sebastian Baez, after emerging as a genuine contender to lift the coveted trophy. Britney looked besotted as she cosied up to Russell, putting on a sophisticated display in a floral pink dress with a polka dot scarf The couple, who started dating in 2020, sparked speculation they are set to tie the knot after the actress began stepping out with a diamond ring Elsewhere on the courts, British tennis star Katie Boulter sealed a huge victory against Paula Badosa on Monday afternoon in the women's singles, but was back on the grounds on Tuesday to watch her fiancé, Alex De Minaur, in his opening match of the Championships. Boulter took a prime spot in the stands around Court 18 to watch her beau take on Roberto Carballes Baena. But amid the sweltering Wimbledon heat, with temperatures climbing upwards of 31 degrees on Tuesday morning, the 28-year-old star sheltered from the sun under a purple and green Wimbledon-branded umbrella. De Minaur got off to a solid start against the World No 72, Baena, claiming the first set 6-2. Pegula, who was also sent packing at the French Open by world No 361 Lois Boisson last month, was beaten 6-2, 6-3 by the unseeded 24-year-old. The daughter of billionaire NFL owner Terry Pegula is enduring a disappointing 2025 so far after making it to her first Grand Slam final at the US Open last year, having also slipped out of the Australian Open in the third round. The surprise loss to Cocciaretto, who had never beaten a player ranked inside the top five before today, marks the nadir after her SW19 hopes went up in smoke in the very first round. It also goes down as her worst Grand Slam showing for five years, since she was eliminated in the first round at the French Open in 2020.

King of K-pop G-Dragon cuts a trendy figure as he arrives in Sydney flanked by heavy security fending off fans ahead of Australian leg of World Tour
G-Dragon - real name Kwon Ji-yong - has been spotted attempting to go incognito as he touched down in the land Down Under. The King of K-pop, who is about to embark on the Australian leg of his eponymous world tour, was seen making a low-key entrance through a Sydney Airport loading dock on Tuesday. The BigBang frontman flaunted his trendsetting street style while wearing brown cargo pants, chunky black boots and a pink long-sleeve tee with embroidered roses on the sleeves. He accessorised the laid-back ensemble with an R-emblazoned baseball cap, dark shades and a face mask, attempting to go under the radar. The Too Bad hitmaker was flanked by a strict security team as he made his way through the airport, with one shielding the star with an umbrella over his head. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. One of the security guards wasn't leaving anything to chance as he shone a light at waiting fans who were hoping to get a picture of the megastar. G-Dragon could be seen chatting on the phone as he briskly walked to his car, using his other hand to pull up his baggy pants so they didn't drag on the floor. The K-pop star is set to play two shows in Sydney at Qudos Bank Arena on July 2 and July 3, before heading to Melbourne for a slew of shows at Rod Laver Arena. He will then move on to the Asian leg of his tour, performing shows in Taipei, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta and Hong Kong. Before coming to Australia, G-Dragon made an appearance at Psy's annual Summer Swag 2025 concert in South Korea. He took to the stage at Incheon Asiad Main Stadium on Saturday, performing his hit songs Power, Home Sweet Home, and Crayon. 'It's really been a long time,' he told the crowd of nearly 30,000 people. 'I'm currently on a world tour after 88 months, but I came here to celebrate with my big brother Psy,' he said. G-Dragon has been romantically linked to a number of high-flying A-listers, including American-Japanese model Kiko Mizuhara and Drowning Love actress Nana Komatsu. He even dated BLACKPINK's Jennie Kim, who recently starred in 2023 flick The Idol alongside Lily-Rose Depp and The Weeknd aka Abel Tesfaye. However, the Drama hitmaker is said to be currently single as he takes to the Australian stage this month. In September 2024, G-Dragon made headlines after he led a lavish art auction alongside Pharrell Williams in Seoul. The glamorous occasion, which was attended by Princess Eugenie, marked the Nothing but a 'G' Thang: The Art and Archive of G-Dragon exhibition. King Charles' niece, who was likely invited to the event in her role as an Associate Director for gallery Hauser & Wirth, put on a stunning display in a metallic-themed midi dress from London-based designer Peter Pilotto. The beaming royal was keen to capture special moments, with footage showing the mother-of-two filming the hosts on her phone as they were speaking.

Collingwood captain Darcy Moore's ABC radio star girlfriend explains what a 'femcel' is - and why some men refuse to believe such women exist
Collingwood captain Darcy Moore's ABC radio star girlfriend explains what a 'femcel' is - and why some men refuse to believe such women exist Dee Salmin and Pip Rasmussen have delved into the meaning of the term femcel They also spoke on the difference between femcels and incels on The Hook Up Dee Salmin and Pip Rasmussen have delved into the meaning of the term 'femcel' on Triple J's The Hook Up podcast and have opened up a discussion on why some men have refused to believe women who identify as such exist. According to the Collins English Dictionary, the word femcel is used to describe a woman who is 'frustrated by a lack of opportunities to have sexual relationships.' Speaking during an episode of The Hook Up podcast, the radio presenters analysed the difference between femcels and incels, noting that many femcels do not blame other people for their celibacy, rather, they choose to blame themselves. They noted that this is different to what some perceive an incel to be, with the podcasters saying that incels tend to blame others for being involuntarily celebrate. An incel is described by the Collins English Dictionary as 'someone, usually a man, who believes that they are unfairly deprived of opportunities to have sex. Incel is short for involuntary or involuntarily celibate.' The Anti-Defamation League also adds that incels are typically 'heterosexual men who blame women and society for their lack of romantic success'. Dee Salmin (left) and Pip Rasmussen (right) have delved into into the meaning of the term 'femcel' on Triple J's The Hook Up podcast Salmin, who is dating Collingwood player Darcy Moore, opened up on the definition of femcel, stating that it was a female It adds that the 'incel ideology is rooted in the belief that women have too much power in the sexual or romantic sphere and ruin incels' lives by rejecting them.' Salmin said: 'Even the journey from the beginning of incel, to then women and fems have to create a whole new term to describe what they're experiencing because they can't use incel any more. 'It's not boy sober because they are not purposefully taking a break from dating or relationships, they are genuinely wanting that but cannot get it. 'Now incels' reactions to the term femcel - they refuse to believe it even exists. They've invalidated a term that was created by a woman in the first place.' Rasmussen added: 'In an incel's mind, they're like: "By default, because you're a woman, you could get sex. You just need to lower your standards".' 'And guys were DMing us saying this,' Salmin replied. 'Being like: "I don't believe femcels exist because women can have sex with whoever they want".' The pair read out some comments sent in by people who listen to the show, with one person writing: 'I guarantee you that incels have fewer opportunities than femcels. The average guy, which would be two-to-the-most average women, is far less likely to have high requirements than a female equivalent.' Salmin then went on to say: 'I think the difference might be these incels might view sex through the lens of, "I'm owed sex" or "I have a right to women's bodies and therefore I have a right to sex". Salmin delved into the difference between incels and femcels stating that many incels do not believe that the term femcel exists 'Where is, what we've been saying, is femcels don't perceive men in the same way. 'So when they're saying: "I'm not having sex," they don't mean like: "I'm going to go have sex with a sex worker". They mean: "There is no one that I feel safe enough or connect with enough to have sex with". Of course, if they wanted to they could go see a sex worker. She added: 'But I think with a lot of the femcels... going through why a lot of people are identifying as femcels, the sex they want to have is with someone they feel safe with and want to connect with.' In their investigations on the topic on social media, Salmin found that in Reddit forums that featured discussions around the subjects of incels there was 'a lot of anger and a lot of blame'. She then turned her attention to some of the forums that many femcels use stating: 'For the femcels there was a lot of people trying to uplift each other. I saw a lot of people telling each other: "Have you tried doing this?" She added that many were: 'Just trying to uplift each other and give each other advice. It comes as researchers from Swansea Univerity and the University of Texas at Austin have been conducting studies on 561 incels from the UK and US to ascertain the key characteristics that incels might share. The surprising results suggested that many incels have a history of being bullied and have poor mental health. Dr Andrew Thomas, a psychologist at Swansea University, says: 'If we had to point to their most consistent characteristics, it would be incredibly poor mental health and their feelings of bitterness, frustration, and disdain towards women—though even these show variation within the sample.' More than a third of those studied suffered from moderate depression or anxiety. Concerns have arisen in recent years following an alarming number of mass murders around the world that were linked to incel ideologies.
