The Block NZ star Dylan Cossey has a new nephew to meet on Friday when he returns to Whanganui.
Mr Cossey - aka Big Dyls - is one half of Team Orange in the reality TV show, which sees contestants compete to renovate houses. He and teammate Dylan Guitink - aka Dylz Junior - will be paying a visit to the Wanganui Cosmopolitan Club on Friday night.
Mr Cossey's mother, Tracey Cossey, said one of her other children had had a baby boy during Big Dyls' time on The Block NZ.
"So he has a nephew who he's looking forward to meeting," she said.
Although the pair, who are good mates and fellow builders, are identified on the TV show as being from Tauranga, Big Dyls, 27, is originally from Whanganui. He went to Gonville School and Whanganui City College, and started his building apprenticeship in Whanganui.
