New photo Hoards of fans descend upon St Kilda to attend The Block's open inspection

The Block's newly-renovated Gatwick Hotel has opened its doors to the general public. 

On Sunday, hoards of feverish fans descended upon Mebourne's suburb of St Kilda, with lines of potential buyers snaking through cordoned-off streets surrounding the property. 

Spotted amid the fray were The Block's hosts Scott Cam and Shelley Craft, who spent much of their time presenting to a Nine Network camera crew.

The properties will be auctioned off on October 27, with each newly renovated apartment expected to fetch between $2.2 and $2.75 million.

'Everyone who is going to walk through will have seen the judging happen, but they'll have their own judging caps on,' contestant Jess Eva told the Herald Sun's realestate.com.au ahead of the open inspection. 

Before being overtaken by The Block this year, the Gatwick Hotel was famous for housing society's outcasts.

Exciting! Kerrie and Spence smiled ear-to-ear for the camera 

Dubbed the 'hell hotel', it was often the site of murders, drug overdoses, assaults and robberies.

Formerly owned and operated by twin sisters Yvette Kelly and Rose Banks, the women sold the rundown property to Channel Nine for around $10 million, according to News.com.au.

Despite its seedy past though, the building has become a beloved part of Melbourne's storied history.

Great expectations: In a new promo for Sunday's open inspection, the show's host, Scott Cam, declared it to be 'one of the best Blocks of all time'

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
