Watch: Grant called out for 'cheating' after he's taken off-site for a bed-styling challenge

A few hours away from The Block sounds like heaven right? Well, not if you're Grant.

Along with one contestant from each team, 'Grumpy' Grant was taken from his on-site duties to take part in a Freedom bed styling challenge.

The Blockheads were transported in style on a luxury coach serving Champagne. Sounds like a treat? But again Grant wanted to be back on-site getting things done.

While styling would usually be wife Courtney's domain, Grant was making up for things after he bailed on an earlier challenge. It was an act Scott Cam said was "almost paramount to cheating".

But with the help of Freedom interior designer Jack, even a decorating novice like Grant had a chance of styling a bed well enough to win the $5,000 prize up for grabs.

You can see how it all played out in the video below.

With just 10 minutes to style and dress a queen bed, the Blockheads were feeling the pressure.

Halfway through the challenge, Grant inadvertently "cheated" by calling partner Courtney for some help.

Considering Grant didn't know what a European cushion was, he was definitely in need of some help.

But it wasn't long before Grant's faux pas was called out.

"You can't do that Grant, give me your phone," Shelley Craft said.

With Courtney out of the picture, thankfully Jack from Freedom was around to share some helpful tips.

According to the styling expert it's important that the bed "first and foremost looks comfortable".

"This is a space where you're relaxing. Add layers and mix different textures, shapes, and sizes. Ensure the bedding complements the room by incorporating colours through cushions and throws," he advised.

Of course when dressing a bed pillows were essential and much more thought goes into it than you might think.

"When layering pillows, begin with larger European pillows at the back, followed by smaller standard pillows in front," Jack explained.

"Add scatter cushions in a grouping of three – two matching ones for symmetry and a smaller, contrasting one in front. Vary the shapes and sizes for a more dynamic and visually appealing arrangement."
