The Block couple from Melbourne, who are affectionately known as Daz and Dea, were known for their constant bickering.
They appeared on two seasons of The Block — 2014's Glasshouse and then again in 2015's Triple Threat.
In 2015, they made $835,000 profit and then earned an additional $100,000 for winning the series, bringing their total to $935,000, winning the most prize money out of any Block team.
