The battle of The Block: Harry Pavlou threatens to ‘walk away’ after fiery clash with foreman Keith Schleiger over changes made to his home

Tensions are going to reach an all-time high on The Block this week.

According to TV Week, Harry Pavlou has a fiery clash with Keith Schleiger after the IT manager decides to lower his fireplace and makes changes to stormwater pipes the foreman had installed without seeking approval.

Keith then confronts Harry, 57, but the contestant refuses to apologise and threatens to walk away.

‘I don’t take to aggression. I don’t think it’s necessary… and I reacted to the way Keith spoke to me,’ Harry said.

He added: ‘I think the best approach when a situation gets heated is to take the heat from the situation by just walking away. Walk away and come back fighting.’  

However, Keith claimed ‘Harry doesn’t like authority’ and said he can’t make changes without permission.

‘I think he’s been used to renovating his own way and he doesn’t like having Dan and me telling him what to do but that just doesn’t happen in building,’ he said.

This isn’t the first time Harry has been caught up in a scandal on The Block. 

Last month, the 57-year-old was busted sneaking back onto the building site after the coronavirus pandemic temporarily shutting down production. 

Harry was caught on CCTV walking back into his renovated home three weeks into the show’s mandatory lockdown.

According to host Scott Cam, the show’s resident larrikin was caught ‘sneaking back on The Block to do a little measuring up’.  

Harry’s presence on the building site during lockdown left the show’s other teams feeling annoyed. 

‘For him to come on site and be able to measure things, possibly change things to advance himself. I think we were all a bit dirty,’ admitted Jimmy, 33.
