The Block heartthrob Ricky responds to 'thirsty' fan comments and reveals who his celebrity crush is

As an ardent fan of The Block, I can honestly say that the 20th anniversary series has truly been a breath of fresh air, and Ricky Recard is undeniably the heartthrob who has stolen my heart! His charm, charisma, and positive attitude are simply irresistible. From his humble beginnings as a plumber to his current status as a fan favorite on The Block, Ricky’s life journey is nothing short of inspiring.


Ricky Recard has addressed fans who have dubbed him the charming lead of The Block’s eagerly awaited 20th anniversary season.

In simpler terms, the 34-year-old plumber from Melbourne has left a mark by participating in the popular home renovation contest, teaming up with his best friend Haydn Wise on the Yellow Team.

During the course of the competition, Ricky has amassed a large number of admirers, with numerous spectators expressing their affection for him by referring to him as their celebrity infatuation, alluding to his handsome appearance through their comments.

Supporters are equally smitten with his upbeat demeanor and playful wit, flocking to social platforms to label Ricky and his companion Hayden as their top picks.

In response to being labeled a celebrity crush, Ricky playfully dismissed the idea, humbly stating that he doesn’t believe he’s famous or worthy enough to bear such a title.

He mentioned to Yahoo Lifestyle that he isn’t certain about labeling himself as famous. He added, “To be a celebrity, one should have an impressive resume, don’t you think? For instance, Shelley [Craft] has worked on Saturday Disney for years, Funniest Home Videos, and The Block.”

As a devoted admirer, I might express myself like this: “I’m a well-known figure in Australia, while you may not recognize my name. However, should someone find themselves drawn to me, I can only say that it’s flattering and heartening.”

On The Block, Ricky openly admitted that Shelley, who is 48 years old and a popular host, is his favorite celebrity. He has since expressed the thrill he felt when meeting her face-to-face.

“He exclaimed how wonderful she was. It was quite an exciting moment for him, as if he were saying, ‘I can hardly believe it, I’m not only in her presence but we’re even having a conversation together!'”

In just a few short days since The Block made its comeback on TV, viewers are already clamoring for Ricky and Haydn to win the 2024 season title.

Expressing my enthusiasm on Instagram, I boldly declared: “I’m rooting for Ricky and Hayden to take the victory!”

‘How cute was Ricky,’ another commented while a third added: ‘My current crush is Ricky.’

Regardless of fan’s calls for their win, the duo has been adamant that they lack any strategic approach at all, admitting candidly in a recent moment: “We are simply improvising as we go.”

In this friendly competition, the top duo faces off against Courtney and Grant from the Red Team who are also a married pair, as well as Kylie and Brad Vines from the Green Team, hailing from Queensland.

In 2023, Kristian and Mimi from the Purple Team have become well-known figures following their Disney-themed wedding in Adelaide that gained popularity on TikTok.

It has already been teased that the duo will bring the drama for the 20th anniversary season.

According to a source, there’s a sense that these two individuals could create quite a powerful impact, and it seems like it’s only a matter of time before something significant happens.

Initially, the milestone sequence faced numerous challenges because Jesse and Paige from Washington state, who were part of the Blue Team, decided to leave only five weeks after production began.

It’s been reported that the surprising choice was made independently by the duo, and there are rumors that a new enthusiastic team will take their place in the 2024 season instead.

Having lived in Melbourne for over a decade, I’ve grown quite fond of its surrounding areas, and one such place that has always caught my eye is Phillip Island. Known far and wide as a popular tourist destination, it offers stunning coastal views, penguin parades, and the iconic Grand Prix Circuit. So when I heard that the upcoming season of The Block was filmed there earlier this year, I couldn’t help but feel a tinge of excitement.

Earlier reports, specifically by Daily Mail Australia, disclosed that an entity under Channel Nine ownership acquired Island Cove Villas located on a Victorian island at a staggering price of AUD 9.5 million.

Nestled conveniently just a smidgen over two hours away from the vibrant city of Melbourne lies a captivating property development, brimming with potential for a modern lifestyle. As I stand here, I can see nine stunning homes, a tranquil communal swimming pool that invites leisurely dips, a BBQ pavilion perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining, a tennis court to keep the active spirit alive, and a children’s playground designed to fuel young imaginations. This haven offers the best of both worlds – the serenity of a peaceful retreat coupled with easy accessibility to city amenities.
