The Block 2015: Suzi Taylor says sorry for nude partying

The Block’s controversial bombshell Suzi Taylor has used the show’s finale to apologise for her erratic behaviour and reveal she is seeking help.

The former lads’ magazine centrefold and mother of three has been the show’s most flamboyant contestant for several seasons.

Taylor was snapped dancing topless, unravelling her hot pink string bikini, aboard a boat in Melbourne during the Spring Racing Carnival earlier this month.

Her public striptease followed a stint in hospital a fortnight ago. She was found unconscious at the show’s set the day after the fans’ open for inspection and was rushed by ambulance for treatment.

Channel Nine blamed exhaustion for Taylor’s collapse, but rumours of her non-stop partying persisted.

Taylor takes an opportunity during The Block’s auction episode, which airs on Channel Nine on Wednesday night, to say sorry for her behaviour.

She tells her fellow contestants that she has made mistakes, is managing “personal issues” and is “getting a lot better”, and urges others with depression to seek assistance.

“That is what I have done – I have sought help,” she says.

“And Channel Nine and everyone has been amazing, they are like my little family down in Melbourne.”

She had several spats with fellow contestants during filming, including Melbourne beauty therapist Whitney Nolan, telling her to “go and eat a burger” during one heated confrontation.

The Block’s long-time foreman Keith Schleiger this week said Taylor’s nude antics had tarnished the family show.

Taylor’s CV includes a saucy editorial in Penthouse and the title of Pet of the Year. She is a former squeeze of the late INXS frontman Michael Hutchence, and has openly discussed their friendship.

The Block auctions were filmed on Saturday but the result has been kept strictly under wraps until the finale airs at 7.30pm Wednesday on Nine.

Melbourne’s Andy Simmons and Nolan also open up during the episode and discuss their breakup with host Scott Cam.

Before their apartment goes under the hammer, they explain they have parted ways and any prize money would help them move forward separately.

The young couple, who met on the dating app Tinder, struggled more than any other team and frequently bickered throughout the three month challenge.

In the final renovation episodes, Andy capitulates and plays on his mobile phone while Whitney battles to finish their room.
