Is Scott Cam leaving The Block? Nine star lands another TV gig as filming wraps for renovation show
Channel Nine star Scott Cam momentarily shocked fans when his new TV gig was announced this week.
As filming of the upcoming series of The Block wraps up, the long-serving host already has a new project in the works.
The television tradie, 62, will appear alongside three-time Olympian Dr Jana Pittman, 42, to host a two-part series all about identical twins.
Australia's Most Identical will see 100 sets of twins undertake a raft of challenges and tests in an effort to be crowned Australia's most identical siblings.
The series will see UK TV presenters Dr Xand and Dr Chris van Tulleken, themselves identical twins, set the challenges, while Australian twin experts Professor Sarah Wilson and Professor Jeff Craig will analyse the results in conjunction with Twin Research Australia.

It was a role Cam was born to play, as he is the father of twins, Bill and Sarah, 26. The reality veteran also shares another son Charlie, 29, with his wife of more than 30 years Ann.
Meanwhile Pittman welcomed twins - Quinlan and Willow - back in 2022, expanding her brood to six.
She shares Quinlan and Willow, along with Emily, nine, Jemima, eight, and Charlie, two, with husband Paul Gatward, as well as Cornelis, 18, with first husband Chris Rawlinson.
It's been a long road to get the series to screens, with Nine announcing Australia's Most Identical as part of its 2024 lineup.
Fans need no fret about Cam's future on The Block, with the popular star confirming he has no plans on leaving the show earlier his year.
Meanwhile, Cam recently revealed that he has become a grandfather for the first time.
He shared a gallery of photos to social media in May confirming his son Charlie and his partner Amber had welcomed their first child, a beautiful girl.
The Sydney-born presenter revealed in the caption the birth happened last month and he is now going public: 'As of five weeks ago, I became a grandfather to beautiful Tiggy.
'I'm so proud of Charlie and Amber. She is absolutely gorgeous.'
It's certainly been a busy time for Cam, who was recently revealed as being the second highest paid small screen star in the land on a formidable $2.4million.
He is sitting comfortable behind Today host Karl Stefanovic on $2.8million and ahead of another Nine colleague, Andy Lee, on $2million.
The Nine star has been busy with the anticipated 21st season of the reality show in Daylesford, Victoria.
It seems fans will soon get to see the fruits of his efforts with Block foreman Dan Reilly teasing the new series was imminent.
Reilly took to his social media on Sunday to share a gallery of snaps featuring cast and crew from the Daylesford construction site in rural Victoria.
While he was careful not to show off any of the homes featured in the upcoming season, a glimpse of what appears to be completed structures can be seen in the background of one photo.
Aerial photos released in April revealed that the 2025 season will feature some massive homes.
The sprawling construction site located in the tiny rural getaway, 112km from Melbourne, features five blocks.
All of the two-storey dwellings are built as a 'H' design layout with courtyard spaces in front and back of the home.
It comes after claims that the upcoming season allegedly hit a serious snag which had caused production to be delayed.
An industry insider exclusively told Daily Mail Australia in January that filming was set to commence in Daylesford that month but was pushed back.
Production on the popular Channel Nine reality renovation series was slated to begin in February after being delayed for a month.
