While we don't know exactly when the renovation madness is going to hit our screens, we do know who the newbie teams are.

Here's everything you need to know about the teams taking on the mammoth challenge of The Block this year.

Who are the Fans on The Block 2021?

Josh and Luke

While they are fans of the show, you may already recognise twins Josh and Luke — who previously appeared on Love Island Australia.

They're definitely no strangers to reality TV, but renovations on the other hand, is a different story. When it comes to reno experience, it's fair to say Josh and Luke are the most inexperienced Blockheads this season.

The twins are massive fans of the show, but neither has renovated before. But they see this as an advantage, because other contestants may dismiss them and not realise they are tough competitors.

The youngest couple this year, they want to show everyone they can do it.

"We might be the juniors and not have much renovating experience, but we are going to give it our best shot," Luke said.

Tanya and Vito

Tanya is a well-known, Melbourne-based makeup artist, best identified by her signature purple hair and love of bright colours. She is a determined type and not afraid to step on anyone's toes — an attitude that can go a long way on The Block.

Vito is a professional barber and keen cyclist who is Italian in background. Vito now works in window furnishings, which will no doubt give them an advantage in the competition.

The couple have been together for two decades and married for 18 years, with children Eva, 12, and Josiah, eight, Tanya and Vito are as close as couples can get. Family is everything to the couple, who wants to give their kids a goal to look up to by appearing on The Block.

Kirsty and Jesse

Kirsty is an established country music singer who has performed all over Australia to a loyal fanbase. She has been to Nashville with Jesse, trying to break into the US market, and had planned to go back there before COVID-19 hit.

Jesse got his first job at a pizza shop when he was 13, paid $5 an hour. Now, after training as a fitter and machinist, Jesse has worked as a videographer in the music industry in the last few years, including making a number of clips for his wife.

Together since they were 16 and married now for seven years, Kirsty and Jesse are a rock-solid couple.

When it comes to their reno experience, the couple bought their first house at 18 and did up that house and sold it, making $60,000 and catching the renovation bug. Since then they have bought and flipped six houses.

Who are the Faves on The Block 2021?

Mitch and Mark

Australia first met the fabulous Sydney couple Mitch and Mark on The Block in 2019 at The Oslo in St Kilda.

They came fifth but still took home $384,000 in prizemoney. Now they return to The Block to show more of what they can do.

Mitch recently resigned from his long-time job as a manager of business and innovation, while Mark, left his job working in personal injury and insurance after first appearing on The Block to focus on creating the Mitch and Mark brand.

The 'Bondi granddads' moved to Sydney's Northern Beaches where they have been renovating their house and we can't wait to see what they do this year on The Block.

Ronnie and Georgia

Ronnie and Georgia are back again!

The couple, who competed on The Block in 2017 in the Melbourne suburb of Elsternwick are hugely competitive and outspoken, there's never a dull moment for these two.

Ronnie and Georgia renovate and flip houses for a living, so the pressure on this Perth couple to perform is huge.

Feisty and with an eye for style, Georgia is a force to be reckoned with. She again plans to take on the role of shopping and styling in Hampton, and having already done one Block before, she knows anything is possible under the most trying circumstances.

Meanwhile, Ronnie is no stranger to hard work and vigilant regimes. He gets up every morning at 4.30am to go to the gym before a long working day. He feels he has all the skills to win the contest, having renovated homes since his early twenties and previously worked as a real estate agent.

The Block Fans v Faves is coming to Nine soon.
