Esko’s Scott Arntson exchanging football coach for new ‘title’ – Duluth News Tribune

ESKO — In 2023, Scott Arntson’s Esko football team was perhaps the most talented that’s ever taken the field in school history and there weren’t many arguments after the team buzzsawed its way through the regular season.

They were 10-0 for the third consecutive season, had three players that received All-Area honors and one — Koi Perich — who was named All-Area Player of the Year for the second successive season. Perich went on to be named first team All-Big Ten as a true freshman safety for the Minnesota Golden Gophers in 2024.

In many ways it was a dream season for Esko, but for Arntson and his family there was another side to 2023. His daughter, Ashleigh Franz, and her husband, Jacob Franz, told Arntson and his wife Amy they were having a baby in the early fall. Amy Arntson is a regular freelance contributor for Duluth Media Group.

“From the moment we told them that we were expecting, he was all-in the whole time,” Franz said.

Everleigh was born Sept. 3, 2023, but it was a complicated delivery, Franz said, and required Everleigh to spend 10 days in a neonatal intensive care unit in Duluth. Visiting hours in the NICU are very strict, but the new “all in” grandfather was going to see Everleigh as much as he could.

After practice every day, drove to visit his granddaughter and spend as much time as he could with her.

“Even if it was only 10 or 15 minutes, just being able to be there and see her is all he wanted,” Franz said. “The drive from Esko to downtown and then back to Carlton was sometimes longer than the time he got to spend at the hospital, but for him it was worth every second he got to be there.”

Arntson credited his assistants with their organized practices that allowed him to slip away quickly after it was over, especially when his thoughts were elsewhere.

“I think that helped a lot,” he said. “That’s kind of where your mind is and after you leave, you can’t wait to get up there and see her again.”

This season, Everleigh was able to come to practices to see grandpa and even spent time with him in the press box working the clock for JV games. She even came to three games this season, prompting Arntson to drop his famously stoic gameday manner.

“When they were walking to the fieldhouse at halftime, he would have his coach face on,” Franz said. “As soon as he saw Evvie, he would just break into a smile, come right over to us, scoop her up and hold her for 30 seconds and then hand her back. He was all coach mode and just instantly, it was grandpa mode.”

Earlier this season, Arntson’s son told him that they were expecting a grandchild and living in Wausau, Wisconsin, changed his thinking on coaching.

“Coaching football is something I love and hope to do again, but there’s other things too,” Arntson said. “I can’t even describe how much joy a grandbaby brings. My wife and I were both looking forward to it and we knew we would love it, but it’s even more than we could expect.”

With a second grandchild on the way, Arntson made the decision to step down after nine years at Esko and four appearances in the state tournament, the first in 2019.

Just the fourth coach in Esko history, Arntson’s first year resulted in just two wins.

“There were a lot of questions, but the next year we were in a section championship game,” he said. “Then we just kept building from there — trying to be patient and do things what we considered the right way.”

In 2019, they finally won the section and made it to state, but it wasn’t enough. They realized what it would take to win at the state level and in 2021 they made it to the Class AAA semifinal, losing to eventual state champion Dassel-Cokato.

“The last couple years we thought we were the favorites,” Arntson said. “Our bar just kept changing as far as what our expectations were.”

Over Arntson’s tenure, the Esko program has not only sent a number of kids on to play college football, it’s expanded to include flag football starting in third grade and flex football — a modified form of flag football where players wear pads and block — beginning in fifth grade. They also organized a booster club for the program.

All the practices and extra games were taking more and more of his time, making the job of head coach “more administrative,” Arntson said.

“At the end of the day, I’m a football coach — I love coaching football,” he said. “This final season, I did very little of that.”

Arntson has played or coached football since 1984 and even Franz said her dad touched a lot of lives and she knows it will be different without her father on the sidelines next fall. She took stats on the sidelines when she was at Esko and remembers Arntson coaching with her brother in a baby carrier at Duluth Marshall.

“People will come up to him and call him ‘coach’ and that’s so valid,” she said. “Part of me sees him as ‘Coach Arntson,’ too, but now it’s ‘Grandpa’ and he holds that title so close to his heart.”

New CEO Scott DeRue Working to Build Ironman Into a Lifestyle Brand

Collaborations with luxury brands? A branded hotel? A luxury training vacation?

For Scott DeRue, chief executive officer of the Ironman Group, anything is possible.

That expression is also the motto of the sports company that organizes 225 events in 54 countries across the sports of triathlon, road running, trail running, road cycling and mountain biking. Its marquee event is the Ironman triathlon, a grueling race that consists of a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike and a 26.2-mile run.

About 10 months ago, the Ironman Group, which is owned by Advance, the privately held family-owned company behind Condé Nast and American City Business Journals, poached Equinox president DeRue to become its CEO. Since taking on the role, DeRue has immersed himself in the world of Ironman, even partaking in a half-Ironman race, called an Ironman 70.3 to indicate the total distance traveled by the athletes, in Wilmington, N.C., last month.

DeRue, a dedicated endurance athlete who has competed in ultramarathons and summited Everest, Denali and Kilimanjaro, among others, said the North Carolina race was his first triathlon. And like many other participants, he’s now hooked. He completed the 1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike and 13.1-mile run in a highly respective time of 5:45.

“I had a blast,” he said. “I found out I can’t swim in a straight line, but I finished with a smile on my face. And I saw firsthand how engaged the community is. There are not many brands that people tattoo on their bodies.”

That passion is what DeRue intends to capitalize on as he lays out his strategy to grow the Ironman brand.

“The last 10 months have been incredibly inspiring to me,” he said. “There’s a highly engaged and passionate community built around our sport.”

While his primary goal is to better serve the athletes that compete at his races, that reach can be much wider, he believes.

Right now, Ironman has deals with performance brands including Roka, best known for its wetsuits and eyewear; Hoka, a favorite running shoe of endurance athletes; Santini, which manufactures its race kits; Lululemon, which makes Ironman-branded training apparel, and Timex, which has a long history making watches sporting the Ironman name. Starting next year, Zoot Sports will become the exclusive triathlon and cycling apparel partner for all owned Ironman and Ironman 70.3 events globally.

But DeRue sees opportunity to further increase the reach.

He pointed to the watch category as an example. While Timex has been making Ironman watches since 1986, Ironman made a deal with the luxury Swiss watchmaker Breitling in 2019 to create co-branded timepieces pegged to its World Championship events. While a Timex watch can cost under $100, a Breitling timepiece can easily retail for around $4,000.

At the Ironman women’s World Championship race in Nice, France, in September, DeRue said the company held an activation at the Breitling store there that was well-attended. “This has elevated the Ironman brand to a new level,” he said. “Breitling focuses on world-championship events and they sell out quickly. We’re extraordinarily happy with the brands we’ve curated for our community, but we’re always exploring what’s new and on the horizon, and looking for new verticals.”

That can include apparel. “We want the right performance wear, but we also want to build our ecosystem through fashion. That’s going to be a major investment for us this year.”

He said his primary focus is to “put the athlete at the center of everything we do.” That includes not only race days and race weekends, but “every day in between. It’s not only about a great swim, a great bike and a great run, but all the other touch points.”

In the men’s World Championship race in Kona, Hawaii, in October, DeRue said Ironman “enriched” the race experience by partnering with the local community to bring the Hawaiian culture to life. The company also worked with AG1, a health drink, to sponsor the coffee boat that is docked in Kailua Bay where participants and others swim out for a cup during their morning workouts.

“That’s just one of the iconic moments,” DeRue said. Experiences such as these, he said, allow the Ironman community to experience more than just a race course.

Because training for an Ironman is a months-long process, the company lines up partners such as TriDot, a triathlon training company, and Precision Fuel and Hydration, which offers personalized nutrition, and has also made a “big investment” by elevating the bags, T-shirts and medals that the participants receive as swag. “We’ve received extraordinary feedback around the elevated quality and design,” he said.

DeRue is also not opposed to following the lead of his former employer, Equinox, which has “done a great job elevating the brand beyond the gym,” he said. “They think of it as a luxury experience and they build a sense of community and connection. The same is true with Ironman.”

There is an Equinox hotel, high-end partnerships with other brands in fashion, travel, nutrition and entertainment such as the StockX resale site, the Bezel concierge service, the Oura smart ring, and others.

So while Ironman may not open a branded hotel in the near term, it already works with Club La Santa, an active holiday resort in Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, to sponsor the race it holds there every spring.

“The resort caters to endurance athletes and many people go there even when they’re not racing,” he said. “That’s a good example of what could be.”

While DeRue works to extend the Ironman reach, he better continue his triathlon training. He said the company is auctioning off a relay spot for the Ironman Lake Placid next July where he and former champion Michellie Jones will compete with the auction winner. And it’ll be up to the auction winner to decide which sport DeRue will do, which means it could be the swim, so he’s got eight months to work on his open-water sighting skills.

Scott Disick’s secret weapon for kicking Mounjaro revealed after he was forced to ‘face a level of accountability’

Scott Disick kicked his use of weight loss drugs after his teenage son forced him to take ‘accountability’ for sparking widespread concern over his extreme dieting.

Scott’s health was called into question earlier this year when the 41-year-old was pictured looking noticeably thinner, with many fans questioning if he had turned to Ozempic.

However, eagled-eyed viewers later spotted boxes of the weight loss wonder drug Mounjaro stocked up in his fridge during an episode of The Kardashians.

Following multiple reported attempts by loved ones to help the reality star curb his use, insiders have told DailyMail.com that it was 14-year-old Mason’s decision to move in with his father that finally forced the Talentless founder to make a change.

‘Scott had to kick the weight loss drugs and Mason was the main reason why,’ the source said. ‘Having Mason move in with him full time has been a complete game changer.’

They explained that Mason had no issue speaking his mind and calling out his father during his struggles.

‘It has caused him to face a level of accountability that he has never had before, and it has been an incredibly positive experience,’ they said.

‘They are like best friends. Prior to this, Scott was struggling, but Mason calls him out.’

Living with his teenage son also prompted Scott to assess what kind of example he was setting to the three children he shares with ex-girlfriend Kourtney Kardashian, 45.

‘Scott is trying to teach Mason how to be healthy and lead a healthy lifestyle and must lead by example,’ the insider continued.

‘Mason is at the age where he does not tolerate everything, and he is incredibly smart.’

The insider confirmed that Scott has officially kicked his reliance on the weight loss jabs and has a personal chef to help him monitor his food intake.

‘Now he is looking good and feeling good,’ they said. ‘Instead of having his personal chef make unhealthy foods, his chef cooks healthy dishes and Scott has gotten used to it.’

Mason, 14, played a key part in Scott’s decision to halt his use of popular medication, Mounjaro, insiders have told DailyMail.com (seen on October 4)

Scott is finally feeling so ‘confident’ in himself that dating is very much ‘on the table.’

Much like the celebrity favorite Ozempic, Mounjaro is a diabetes medication that has also been used to help people shed the pounds.

It was the season five premiere episode of Hulu’s The Kardashians back in May that saw Scott inadvertently reveal what appeared to be two packages of Mounjaro in his fridge.

The weight loss jab was sat on the door above several neatly-arranged cartons of almond milk.

The sighting came after fans had commented on Scott’s obvious weight loss after piling on the pounds due to a back injury following a nasty car crash in 2022.

‘He thought he looked good because he was thinner again – not realizing that this was not healthy,’ an insider told DailyMail.com back in April.

‘Scott has been incredibly attractive and fit his entire life and is not having the best time accepting that age is catching up with him.’

Earlier this year, the doting dad showcased his pride for his eldest child after Mason graduated from 8th grade.

Fans had pointed out that Scott had clearly lost a lot of weight after piling on the pounds due to a back injury following a nasty car crash in 2022 (seen in August 2022)

The TV star shared a photo with the young teen and a friend standing in front of Nobu Malibu.

‘Congratulations 2 my best friend in the world for graduatuating [sic] middle school and now on to high school! Let’s go mart!,’ he captioned the snap.

Scott and Kourtney are also parents to daughter Penelope, 12, and son Reign, nine.

Though Mason has shied away from the limelight in recent years, the teenager chose to join Instagram back in May.

His aunts Kim and Khloe Kardashian made it clear that they didn’t know how to feel about the milestone as Kim commented: ‘You’re really on Instagram.’

‘I can’t believe this is happening,’ wrote Khloe, 39.

‘I am sort of not ok,’ she added with crying emojis. ‘He’s a real teenager. The one who names us KiKi and KoKo.’

Like the widely-known weight loss jab Ozempic, Mounjaro is a diabetes medication that has also been used to help people shed the pounds

‘Scott had to kick the weight loss drugs and Mason was the main reason why,’ the source said. ‘Having Mason move in with him full time has been a complete game changer’

Disick shares Mason, Penelope, 12 and Reign with his ex-girlfriend Kourtney Kardashian, 45

Kourtney and Scott made Mason delete an account in 2020 when he joined without their permission.

His TikTok account was also previously disabled for violating their terms of service as users are required to be 13 or older, and Mason was 10 at the time.

Kourtney is currently married to Travis Barker with whom she has one-year-old son Rocky.

Scott, who enjoyed a night out in Beverly Hills on Friday, is currently single having dated Sofia Richie and Amelia Hamlin in the wake of his split from Kourtney.

Travis Scott enjoys a luxe night out on Sydney Harbour with some scantily clad female friends and a mystery woman who goes to extreme lengths to hide her identity

Travis Scott enjoyed a luxe night out on Sydney Harbour on Sunday night.

The 33-year-old US rapper, who is currently on his Circus Maximus tour in Australia, was spotted disembarking from the Seven Star super-yacht after enjoying a lavish boat party in the Emerald City.

The Sicko Mode hitmaker attempted to go incognito in a washed-out khaki zip-up hoodie paired with baggy jeans.

He added a chunky belt to his look, along with a silver watch and bracelet, and opted to hide his famous face behind designer sunglasses.

Travis, whose real name is Jacques Bermon Webster II, was joined by an entourage of stunning ladies – and a mystery woman who went to great lengths to conceal her identity.

Travis’ female guests opted for figure-hugging outfits on the night that flaunted their eye-popping curves.

One guest could barely contain her ample assets in a green ensemble that was perilously held together by strands of fabric and a prayer.

Another guest stunned in a daring red catsuit, while one more turned heads in a gold number with criss-cross detailing at the waist, and a low cut bust.

However, all eyes were on the mystery woman who did everything possible to remain unidentifiable.

The top secret guest opted to cover her head and shoulders with a blanket – and her eyes with sunglasses – as she scurried off the super-yacht.

She made sure her figure was on display in a body-hugging dress adorned with a print in shades of red, yellow and black, with a hint of blue.

She opted to boost her height with chunky red Converse Chuck Taylors.

Once she made it to land, she rushed to an awaiting vehicle desperately clutching the fluffy throw where she was met with someone from Travis’ entourage.

She then disappeared into the night.

Travis touched down in Sydney via private jet on Thursday, just hours before his sold-out gig later that evening.

Travis is expected to spend some time in Sydney before heading to Melbourne for a show at the Marvel Stadium on October 22

He will then wrap things up on October 26 with his final Australian show at Brisbane ‘s Suncorp Stadium

More than 40,000 fans were in attendance at the first stop on his Australian tour at Allianz Stadium.

Travis is expected to spend some time in Sydney before heading to Melbourne for a show at the Marvel Stadium on October 22.

He will then wrap things up on October 26 with his final Australian show at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium.

Travis, who is the ex of Kylie Jenner, left some Aussies unimpressed when he revealed his list of concerts Down Under on his Circus Maximus world tour.

After revealing he would only be visiting Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and New Zealand, many fans were left fuming at having to travel to see him live.

Fans in Perth and Adelaide in particular were left disgruntled after he became the latest in a long line of global stars to skip over the Aussie cities on their tours.

‘What about Perth?’ one fan messaged the performer, while another added: ‘Typical [that] Perth gets left out.’

The US leg of Travis’ Circus Maximus World Tour has already earned the performer an eye-watering $27million, according to Perth Now.

Travis is not the first to skip over the WA capital while visiting Australia after Paul McCartney and Taylor Swift both failed to perform there.

The Jonas Brothers, Sam Smith and Charlie Puth also all left Perth fans out in the cold as they were forced to travel to the east coast to see them perform live.

Dua Lipa has also been hit by backlash in recent weeks for skipping over Brisbane and Perth on her upcoming 2025 tour.

How Kiwi YouTuber Stacey Scott only spends $5000 on food a year

We raised six kids on a single income. I wanted to share my knowledge, so I started filming cost-effective meals, and Farmers Wife Homestead was born.

There are some horrible bullies online, but I get so much in return for putting myself out there. The community’s an amazing bunch of people. That’s what keeps me going.

My dad was a farm manager. The farm provided us with meat and that’s where I learned my love of gardening. Mum was an amazing cook. I learned from watching her. Then when I became a mum, I learned to cook from scratch.

My first husband wasn’t a farmer, although we did a stint dairy farming because I convinced him it was a great lifestyle. We absolutely loved it, but ended up separating.

Raising six children was pretty much a full-time job. But I would volunteer at kindergarten and teach elderly men how to cook once their wives had died.

When the children were little, it wasn’t all about how much stuff they had. We went to the toy library and second-hand shops.

I did my OE for four years in Western Australia where I have family and took the children – they were in their late teens down to 3 years old – and worked in restaurants honing my skills as I’m not a trained chef.

I met Karl, a father of three, eight years ago, when I was living in Tauranga. I moved to Raglan to be with him and we’ve been married for seven years – I even catered our wedding.

I love budgeting. I save every food receipt to compile a list of what I will need in future. It helps me work out what to bulk buy. It’s also a guide of what vegetables I need to plant, so I can save money there. Your grocery bill is probably one of your biggest variables – if you can control what you’re spending, you start saving.

Stacey has set herself a challenge – to spend only $5000 on food in a year. Photo / NZ Woman’s Weekly

It doesn’t mean buying everything in bulk, it’s about learning what to shop for that will last the year and save money. I bulk up expensive food items with cheaper ones.

I can get 38 servings for $30, using two chickens. I make sweet and sour, chicken pot pie, nachos, chicken subs and I use the carcass as stock for pumpkin soup. I make a loaf of sandwiches and freeze them, I bake and buy produce in season. We don’t eat out – it’s too expensive – so I make “fakeaways” such as fish and chips, burgers and pizza.

I’ve set myself a challenge – to spend only $5000 on food in a year to feed three adults and a teenager. I have a daily budget of $14, but I do keep a well-stocked pantry and have plenty of preserves on hand.

We’re tracking a little over budget because I hurt my back and couldn’t garden, and then I had a knee operation, so I cooked ahead and did freezer meals. Now I’m not spending as much.

AdvertisementAdvertise with NZME.

I would love to start a second YouTube channel on budgeting. I get a lot of comments from elderly through to young people at university who don’t have much money.

I’m not great with technology, so learning how to run a website and start a YouTube channel’s been a full-time job. I find it really rewarding. Saving people’s lives was really rewarding. Saving people money’s pretty rewarding too.

One of Scott Disick’s very first romances after his split from Kourtney Kardashian was with model Christine Burke. As Us Weekly reported, in March 2016, the two were spotted in Calabasas, California. That same year, Scott and Christine were seen vacationing in the South of France. However, it appeared to be a brief relationship.

After dating Christina, Scott entered into a relationship with Australian model Megan Blake Irwin in April 2016. The pair reunited in 2020 after his break-up from Sofia Richie in 2020. She almost made this list. However, the pair share a 9-year age difference.

Fans were stunned to see Scott with Disney star Bella Thorne, as they have a 14-year age difference. As Us Weekly reported, the pair were together to celebrate Scott’s 34th birthday in Cannes in 2017. Their relationship was brief, and it had a lot to do with Scott’s drinking.

Prior to his short-lived relationships with Christine, Megan, and the Disney Channel star, Scott’s romance with Chloe Bartoli, who is 7 years younger than him, was allegedly the reason why Kourtney Kardashian left him for good in 2015.

Speaking to Complex, Bella shared that while she enjoyed partying with Scott, she was not a fan of his over indulgence in alcohol. “Scott is really nice, sweet, charming. I don’t drink, and he really drinks a lot. And it just ended up … I just wasn’t down. I was like, ‘I gotta leave.’ I love to go out and have fun, I love to f****** dance. but I just don’t party hardcore like that and it was way too much for me. I was like, ‘Woah, this is not the way I live my life, bruh.’” She was also adamant that she was not romantically involved with the reality TV star.

Interestingly, Scott entered into a relationship with another woman named Bella. This time, it was with model Bella Banos, who has a 13-year age difference from The Kardashians star. As Us Weekly reported, Bella and Scott were seen vacationing in Costa Rica in 2017. That year, she told InTouchintimate details about their romance:

“He always flies me to wherever he is. We spend so much time together. Scott will call and say, ‘I miss you. I want to see you.’ Scott calls me his girl and we have said, ‘I love you.’”

It’s not known how long his romance with Bella was. However, he was seen with her on other occasions. After his split from Sofia Richie, he was seen with Bella grabbing dinner in Malibu in 2020. They were spotted together again the following year with photos showing them enjoying time together in St. Barts.

In an episode of RHOBH, Lisa is heard stating:

“It’s a what-the-f*** moment. You’re like, ‘What the f***?’ She’s 19. He’s 37 with three kids.’”

However, Amelia ended things with Scott in September 2021. The model reportedly decided to call it quits after Scott DMed Kourtney’s ex-boyfriend, Younes Bendijama, a photo of Kourtney straddling Travis Barker on a boat in Italy.

The Block host Scott Cam is ‘ready to call quits’ and retire for good from the reno show – after he slammed 2024 contestants for being ‘less resilient’

Scott Cam is reportedly ready to hang up his tool belt and retire from The Block after 14 years as its host.

The media personality, 61, who took over as host from Jamie Durie in 2010 during season three of the series, is said to be frustrated with contestants in recent years.

Woman’s Day reports that Scott’s had enough and 2025 will be his last year, but Nine says that’s just not the case.

An insider alleges that Scott revealed his retirement plans while filming season 20, saying he was only doing ‘this year and next’ on the show.

‘When Jesse [Maguire] and Paige [Beechey] quit the series mid-season, it really shocked him and made him even more determined to walk away in 2025,’ they said.

‘Scott holds The Block very dear to his heart and he couldn’t understand why anyone would leave his hit series and the highly emotional decision they made.

‘It reinforced to him the idea of leaving on a high next year to spend more time with his family.’

The source went on to reference similar rumours which spread in 2023 about Scott retiring soon, but Nine ‘squashed’ those by signing him onto a new deal.

However, the deal is said to have only covered two years, keeping Scott on as host for the 2024 20th anniversary season and the 2025 Daylesford season.

According to the insider, it was all ‘part of a grand plan for Scott to leave on a high with very two different and challenging seasons of the renovation show’.

The Block was originally set to film in Daylesford this year, but complications with receiving council permits pushed that renovation back to next year.

Producers scrambled at the last second to secure a run down resort on Phillip Island, dropping a staggering $9.5 million on Island Cove Villas,

The insider said Scott was ‘bitterly disappointed’ when Daylesford was put on the backburner because he wanted to host that season ‘then bow out graciously’.

However, Nine has once again put those rumours to rest, telling Daily Mail Australia on Monday: ‘Scott Cam has no plans to step down from The Block.’

It comes just days after Jesse, 29, and Paige, 27, lashed out at host Scott after he made ‘distasteful’ comments about recent participants on the show.

Last month, Scott said contestants of the Channel Nine renovation series have less grit than they did 20 years ago, when the show began.

‘They are less resilient than they were 20 years ago, 15 years ago,’ Scott told news.com.au at the time.

‘There’s more expectation of it getting easier, but it’s not. It gets harder… And people aren’t ready for how hard it is.’

Jesse and Paige, who dramatically left the show halfway through the current season, hit back at Scott’s comments.

‘A lot of people didn’t like what Scott said. A lot of people did not like that. I think that was very distasteful,’ Paige told Yahoo Lifestyle.

Jesse went on to point out the show is completely different these days and contestants no longer have time to build due to challenges and daily consultations.

The Block host Scott addressed rumours of his impending retirement from Nine’s hit renovation show to Daily Mail Australia as recently as last year.

Rumour now has it Scott’s had enough and 2025 will be his last year, reported Woman’s Day on Monday, but Nine says that’s just not the case. Pictured: Scott and co-host Shelley Craft

The builder-turned-reality TV host attended a launch party for the 2023 season of his show and told the crowd he was planning on staying for a long time.

‘Two months ago I signed a multiple year deal with the Nine Network. It was an easy decision as I love this show and couldn’t think of going anywhere else,’ he said.

Scott then said while he had no immediate retirement plans, when that day came in the distant future he had the perfect person in mind to take over as host.

‘I reckon the only person who could do it is my current co-host Shelley Craft, that’s right,’ he said.

Shelley, 48, added there was no one better suited than her to take over the reins when the time finally came.

‘That’s my job, isn’t it? Don’t I step up and then I get a sidekick?’ she joked.

In 2022, Scott addressed speculation about his future on the show yet again, telling Daily Mail Australia he would be on building sites for decades to come.

The veteran tradie has a 40 plus-year career behind him and has hosted The Block for the past 14 years—with seemingly no desire to stop any time soon.

‘I’m 60 this year and I’m physically fit, I’m doing a renovation of my home now because of the mould from all the rain,’ he told Daily Mail Australia at the time.

‘I’ve got at least another decade on the tools. I told my wife recently, we’ve got 20 years of good health left so from January 1, let’s start a 20-year odyssey of living life.

‘I’ll keep going till I can’t anymore because I love it. I reckon I can do 20 years on the tools, and I’ll pull up when my body tells me to.’
