Scott Cam is one of Australia’s most loved television personalities-and rightly so! As host of The Block on the Nine Network, Scott’s laidback larrikin attitude has won him millions of fans across Australia, as evidenced by his 2014 Gold Logie award.
TV: Over the last 20 years Scott has enjoyed a successful partnership with the Nine Network, working across a number of popular programs. Scott’s first television appearance took place on the multi award-winning show, Backyard Blitz, where his experience in the construction industry saw him appointed as the show’s resident builder/carpenter. He continued in this role until the show’s completion in 2007. Scott then became co-host of the top rating lifestyle program Domestic Blitz until 2009. Scott also co-hosted Random Acts of Kindness and appeared regularly on Burke’s Backyard and Renovation Rescue Specials.
The Block: 2010 saw the return of Channel Nine’s The Block, with Scott as the newly appointed host. Scott was the ideal candidate to share his DIY knowledge and play the role of mentor and occasional judge to the competing couples on the show. With The Block averaging around 1.3 million viewers over the eight-week series, culminating in 3.09 million viewers for the series finale, Scott’s ever increasing popularity was officially confirmed. In 2018, Scott pulled on his work boots for the twelfth series of The Block.
Awards: The Block enjoyed great success throughout 2012 and 2013, but the 2014 Fans v Faves series proved to be Scott’s best year yet. After the success of the Fans v Faves series, Scott took home the silver Logie for Most Popular Presenter and the coveted Gold Logie, at the 2014 Annual Logie Awards. 2015 & 2016 saw two further Gold Logie nominations for Scott and another huge win for with their fourth Logie Award for Most Popular Reality Program, The Block.
Author: Scott has written three successful books on building and home renovations: Home Maintenance for Knuckleheads (2003) and Out the Back (2004). In 2017, Scott released his third book, Scotty’s Top Aussie Sheds (2017), featuring a spectacular line up of some of the nation’s best backyard sheds. From August 2014 to June 2016, Scott was the resident DIY expert in the lifestyle magazine, HOMES+.
