Jesse Maguire and Paige Beechey have left The Block in sensational fashion.
The pair, who have been dubbed this season’s ‘villains’ exited on Monday night after producers were forced to intervene.
The engaged couple were caught arguing off camera, but with their mics still attached.
Paige could be heard questioning her relationship with Jesse, stating, ‘There is no us.’
She added angrily: ‘I don’t give a f**k how you feel – deal with it yourself’ as well as threatening to quit the show.
By 11.30pm that night, their argument was loud enough to be heard throughout The Block site.
At that point, executive producer Justin Sturzaker stepped in, noting that the couple had had loud arguments before.
‘It seems like a relationship that’s getting pretty bad. Your neighbours can hear you too, you know?’ he said to them.

Sturzaker then suggested that Paige and Jesse speak to the show’s psychologists.
‘You don’t have to voice all of your stuff just to Jesse. We need to get some other people in to talk to you, where you guys need to make a big decision,’ he said.
The pair did so over the weekend, and by Monday, announced that they had decided to leave the series.
Paige said that the past week had been a ‘cry for help’ adding, ‘It was just like a black hole in my head’.
Host Scott Cam wished the pair well, telling them: ‘We feel as though you need to get to a place that’s out of here, to take care of yourself’.

It comes after a builder from The Block has revealed what Jesse and Paige are really like amid a huge backlash from viewers.
Many viewers have taken issue with the couple’s ‘meltdowns’ on screen, but one builder has revealed what it was really like working with the pair.
Zak Sydenham of ZS Custom Builds jumped to the couple’s defence amid the onslaught of criticism, saying he had a lot of ‘fun’ after working closely with them.
The tradie also appeared to take a swipe at how the couple have been edited on the Channel Nine program.
‘Despite what you see, [filming The Block] was full of laughs, shenanigans, and an overall enjoyable experience,’ he gushed in an Instagram post.
‘Thank you for trusting us to bring your ideas to life.’
The builder went on to admit that while the couple ‘had their moments’, it was never as bad as it appeared on screen.

‘They definitely had their moments, as did every couple, but it was never as bad as it’s being portrayed [in the edit],’ he told Yahoo Lifestyle.
‘Obviously, what has been shown has happened and those conversations [took place], but there has been a whole lot that hasn’t been shown that makes it seem like their reactions and comments are way out of line.’
His comments come after it was revealed that Jesse and Paige will throw down their shovels and shockingly exit the program in week five.
An insider revealed that the engaged couple, who are the youngest team this season, will leave the show to save their relationship, reported Yahoo Lifestyle.
‘Jesse and Paige asked themselves a real question: Is the chance of making money worth risking their relationship?’ a source told the publication.
‘Channel Nine gave them the go-ahead to leave the show after some heated exchanges on their hot microphones.
‘It was a really tough decision, but both Jesse and Paige believe Australia will embrace their decision positively.’
The Insider went on to say fights between Jesse, 29, and Paige, 27, became ‘pretty toxic’ toward the end and tested the limits of their relationship.

Viewers have been critical of the pair ever since Paige went on a foul-mouthed rant during an episode last week.
She let loose on architect Julian Brenchley in recent scenes, telling him she ‘didn’t give a f**k about his opinion’ following an argument about the placement of her and partner Jesse’s main bedroom.
It wasn’t long before fans of the show took to X, previously known as Twitter, to slam Paige for her on-air antics and call out her ‘childish behaviour’.
‘Little Miss Princess Paige has never had anyone say no to her. Time to grow up cupcake and function in a grown-ups world,’ they wrote.
Another disgruntled viewer said: ‘Paige is a petulant child. Really thinks people are rude (when they’re not), stomps her feet over everything and has now slagged off 2 sponsors. Not smart.’
The current series of The Block was filmed earlier this year in the popular Victorian tourism hotspot Phillip Island.
