The Block's Dyls and Dylz to visit Whanganui

Two stars of the current season of The Block NZ will be visiting the Wanganui Cosmopolitan Club on Friday.

Dylan Cossey and Dylan Guitink - known as Big Dyls and Dylz Junior - are Team Orange on The Block NZ, a reality TV show in which four teams of two compete to renovate old houses.

Builder Big Dyls and his apprentice Dylz Junior are both from Tauranga. However, Cosmopolitan Club manager Jen Barber said Big Dyls' mother and stepfather lived in Whanganui and were members of the Wanganui Cosmopolitan Club.

She said people can meet Team Orange between 6pm and 8pm at the Cosmopolitan Club on Ridgway St.

"We've been promoting them - we've had posters up encouraging people to vote for them. So they're coming for a visit to say thanks for the support.

"They'll just be talking to whoever wants to come and have a chat," Ms Barber said.

The team whose house sells for the highest amount at auction wins $100,000, but there's also a People's Choice Award. The prize for People's Choice is a new car.

The Block NZ is currently screening on TV3 on Sunday at 7pm and Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 7.30pm.
