After spending 11 weeks transforming their incredible luxury apartments, the Blockheads will compete in teams to makeover the family home of two sisters, Jeannette and Sarah-Maree, both diagnosed with cervical cancer. The Block couples will be split into two teams for the job: Team Shaynna with Alisa, Bec, Madi, Johnno and Matt; and Team Darren with Lysandra, George, Trixie, Kim and Jarrod. They have three days to revamp this rundown, undersized, three-bedroom family home. Expect walls to be knocked down and the biggest backyard makeover in Domestic Blitz history. "It's great to have the Blockheads give back to such a deserving family, not to mention Shaynna and Darren who roll their sleeves up to help create the most stunning Blitz transformation ever," said Programming Executive, Simon Baird.
