It comes just months after Sarah-Jane underwent a double mastectomy, after revealing she has a high chance of developing breast cancer.

“I had a double mastectomy … because I’m a BRCA1 gene carrier, so I have the BRCA1 gene mutation. It means I have quite a high percentage, like an 85 per cent chance of developing breast cancer. My mum got breast cancer for the first time at 36, so really high chance of getting it while I’m still quite young.”

Tom and Sarah-Jane were among the favourites to win the 2022 series of The Block, called Tree Change, but only made $20,000 profit. Their house sold for $4.1 million, with a reserve price of $4.08. It meant the ended up selling the ute they won on the show, with Sarah-Jane explaining on social media it kept them from suffering a financial loss.

“Honestly Ford Australia saved us financially and we are so grateful they gave such a generous prize to the show that we were then able to win! Our plan was to always keep it but we needed to reimburse our lost money from going on the show.”

She said the couple had to dip into their savings to break even after they lost a combined $60,000 by not working for three months.
