He’s hosted 18 seasons of since joining the renovation reality series in 2010, but that doesn’t mean doesn’t still break some rules now and then. The Gold-Logie winner was called out on social media during Wednesday night’s episode after he and his co-host Shelley Craft had a major on-set blunder. While the contestants and tradies are always reminded to wear hi-vis on the construction site, the two TV personalities noticeably went without any safety gear when they visited each of the teams’ houses.
The faux pas was made even more apparent as the cast had attended a safety meeting just a few minutes before Scott and Shelley arrived. The show’s safety officer Deano held a meeting at 7am instructing the people on the site to use sun protection and always wear hi-vis. “Let’s all maintain hi-vis.
You’re on the site, you need to have your hi-vis on,” he declared. Viewers quickly took to social media to slam Scott and Shelley for only wearing work shirts on site, with one person labelling the act as “reckless”. “I like the morning's safety message.
Wear your hi-vis. Then comes Scott and Shelley, no vests. Not like it's their first rodeo,” another added.
“No hard hats either,” a third shared, followed by a different user who commented, “Shelley usually has pink hi-vis too!”. “That’s a little bit hypocritical,” someone else remarked, while another joked, “They’re special”. As Scott Cam celebrates his 25th year of being in the entertainme.
