Elle Ferguson's classy response after she was sledged by Scott Cam for quitting The Block

Elle Ferguson has retained a dignified silence after she was sledged by Scott Cam for quitting The Block after just two days.

Scott came out swinging against the fashion influencer and her footy star fiancé Joel Patfull after they pulled out of the competition just 48 hours into filming.

The Block’s host described the couple’s decision to leave the show as ‘unAustralian and p**s poor’.

Elle’s manager Camille Thioulouse told the Herald Sun on Tuesday, the influencer refused to comment on Scott’s views.

Scott criticised Elle and Joel’s decision to quit The Block on Monday.

‘We had a 48-hour challenge to choose the house that you get and they scarpered after 48 hours. It’s something that’s never happened before,’ Scott told TV Tonight.

‘45,000 people applied to be on The Block and win life-changing money. These guys got on and they just couldn’t handle the pace after 48 hours.

‘Which to me is a bit unAustralian! Have a go! It’s p**s poor.’

According to The Daily Telegraph, the couple made the difficult decision to leave after Joel’s mother Trish fractured her neck during a fall at her home in Adelaide.

Joel’s mother reportedly broke her coccyx and fractured her wrist.

Following their exit, Elle, 36, shared a photo to Instagram of the pair’s suitcases at Melbourne Airport, and captioned it: ‘Wherever you are in the world, whatever you are doing, family always comes first.’

A Channel Nine spokesperson confirmed their departure to Daily Mail Australia, saying: ‘Over the weekend, we were surprised to have one of our new contestant teams depart The Block a few days into filming for the upcoming season.

‘We wish them all the best for the future and we’re excited to cast two new Aussies for the opportunity of a lifetime on The Block. The Block Tree Change will air as scheduled later this year.’
