The Block\u2019s host Scott Cam<\/a> was relatively quiet ahead of the Season 22<\/a> launch and on Sunday night he revealed why alongside photos of himself in hospital.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 63-year-old gave a thumbs up in one picture from his hospital bed and explained that he\u2019d been \u201cgetting a new knee\u201d for the past two weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cG\u2019day gang!! You may have noticed I\u2019ve been a little MIA before The Block kicking off tonight,\u201d he posted on his Instagram account<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been getting a new knee for the last 2 weeks to keep up with the grandkids. Keen for you all to watch @theblock tonight, 7 O\u2019Block.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

In one snap he showed off the huge bandage over his knee, while another was of him up and about with a walking stick and moving again.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The post was flooded with support from former Blockheads wishing him all the best for a speedy recovery.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThinking of you Scotty, all the best for a speedy recovery!\u201d commented last year\u2019s winners<\/a> Britt and Taz<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sonny and Alicia<\/a> commented, \u201cSpeedy recovery Scotty. We\u2019re thinking of you \u2764\ufe0f.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the best w the recovery mate,\u201d judge and real estate expert Marty Fox<\/a> replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Late last week Scotty revealed he had been in hospital for a while as he called into B105\u2019s Stav, Abby & Matt to chat about the new season of The Block.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI am calling you from my hospital room, which I\u2019ve been in for 12 days. I just had a knee replacement,\u201d he explained.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But it wasn\u2019t all smooth sailing that\u2019s for sure.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst five days is not good. Let me tell you. I\u2019m at the back end now,\u201d he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI was on the heavy duties [painkillers] in the early days because knee replacements are pretty big.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, there\u2019s a lot of pain involved. But now I\u2019m at the back end. I\u2019m going home on Sunday, and I\u2019m still incapacitated a little bit with a walking stick.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scotty made it home just in time for the Season 22 launch of the hit renovation show, and clearly this year is going to be big.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When it comes to this year\u2019s Block, Scotty admits he\u2019s already feeling the nerves ahead of auction day. \u00a0Nine<\/p>\n

Before the launch he also spoke to nine.com.au<\/a> and admitted there were some nerves already about this year.<\/p>\n

Like everyone else in real estate right now, he admitted he was already feeling the nerves for auction day<\/a> \u2013 thinking months into the future. <\/p>\n

While there are nerves every year for auction day, the new \u201ccurveballs\u201d that have been thrown at the market have added some extra anxiety. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think that people are nervous about buying at the moment, and that will obviously affect us,\u201d he explained. <\/p>\n

\u201cBut we\u2019re happy with our product.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
