The Block’s Mimi desperately tried to cover up her ‘cheating’ scandal with Brad just days before it aired on the Channel Nine show.

Bombshell scenes on the renovation show on Monday evening saw Brad admit to ‘flirting’ with his co-star Mimi.

Brad’s wife Kylie suddenly quit production after overhearing her spouse telling Mimi, who is married to fellow contestant Kristian, ‘you know I’d follow your OnlyFans’.

Mimi was asked about the scandal at the Channel Nine Upfronts on Thursday.

She told Daily Mail Australia she ‘didn’t know much’ about it despite being at the centre of the incident.

‘I can’t tell you much about it, but I don’t really know either,’ she said.

‘The thing with the show is that everything that we’ve done has happened in the past. We’ve learned from everything that we’ve been through, and we’re better for it. So, when it happens, it’s happened in the past.

‘Yeah. It doesn’t really bother me.’

She also claimed there was ‘no tension’ between her, Brad and Kylie, adding: ‘There is nothing going on’. 

Scenes on Monday saw Brad confess to making ‘inappropriate’ comments towards Mimi over a drink at his home while his sleeping wife Kylie was within earshot.

Brad later said he believed his marriage was ‘done’ and that he had ‘single-handedly destroyed my family’ with his actions, after Kylie suddenly abandoned production.

A devastated Kylie seemingly flew home to Cairns to be with her and Brad’s four kids after revealing how her husband had told Mimi that he would ‘follow her OnlyFans’.

Despite the drama leaving their marriage ‘in tatters’, Daily Mail Australia understands that Brad and Kylie are still together and are working on their relationship.

‘Kylie and Brad have been spending months working on their marriage,’ a TV insider exclusively confirmed. 

‘The Block shoot left their relationship in tatters and they had been preparing themselves for Australia to see what everyone has been whispering about.’

‘A lot of water has gone under the bridge and Kylie has chosen to stand by her man,’ a friend of Kylie’s continued.

‘Brad and Kylie are together and that is really all Australia needs to know.’

During a subsequent phone debrief with her mother, Kylie revealed exactly what went on during the shock conversation between her husband and Mimi.

‘Flirting, plus talking really inappropriately. How many f**king chances have I given him? Time after time,’ she told her mother.

Kylie then revealed one of the devastating comments her husband made during the flirty exchange.

‘Oh, you know I’d follow your OnlyFans,’ the electrician and plumber allegedly told Mimi, within earshot of his ‘napping’ wife.

She also alleged Brad was ‘bi**hing’ about her during the conversation and claimed it had ‘happened before’.

Kylie immediately left the show, with host Scott Cam announcing her departure from the building site the next morning, and she’s not been seen since. 

‘We found her car, Block phone, all the hi-vis … we’ve done everything we can to locate her and she has not been seen,’ he said.

Kylie abandoned her vehicle at 2:34pm that day, taking only her handbag with her, with Brad speculating that Kylie had returned to Cairns to be with their children.

A message recorded on Kylie’s Block-supplied phone seemed to support his theory as she admitted her marriage was ‘breaking down’.

‘Alright, so I’m saying goodbye. I can’t be on national television having my marriage breaking down. So I’m going home, and I can’t say I’ll be returning,’ she tearfully announced in the message.

‘You can talk to Brad about the details, but unfortunately I can’t do it anymore. Thank you for the opportunity and I’m sorry I can’t stay until the end, I’m just not strong enough anymore.’

Speaking with producers later, Brad admitted he believed his marriage was ‘done’.

‘I’m embarrassed, and I feel sorry for other people having to live with my choices. She’s the last person I want to hurt – her or my kids or my family. But I managed to do it anyways. There’s no way this is going to go away or get better. It’s done,’ Brad said.

‘I’d very much say that I’ve just single-handedly destroyed my family.’
