Nine has announced that Lego Masters, one of the biggest hits on TV, will return later this year for a Lego Christmas.
Some of Australia’s favourite celebrities will team up with contestants from the past three series in a festive celebration of the show Australia has fallen in love with. Who will take the honours with the best and most magical Christmas build?
The Christmas mini-series will feature Scott Cam, Sophie Monk, Brooke Boney and Michael “Wippa” Wipfli. Expect new builds, new twists and a whole lot of Lego as Nine wishes you a very Merry Bricksmas.
Earlier this year, the last episode of Lego Masters had 1.03m tune in for the winner announcement and 932,000 for the grand finale.
The show was the top non-news program and was #1 in all key demos. It was also the top rating episode of the year, beating out the penultimate episode of the series.
David and Gus were named the winners of the third season of the show with the pair taking home $100,000 along with the Lego Masters trophy.
The final three teams had 28 hours to build whatever they wanted, with no limitations and no directives.
Not only did they need to impress Ryan McNaught, the expert “Brickman”, but also 250 members of the public who voted for their favourite build. McNaught was brought to tears due to the builds, saying “Lego is humble…it’s beautiful”.
David and Gus decided on a diorama. Their story, set in a forest, had two deer being preyed upon by a pack of wolves.
Owen and Scott did an inspired build, Engineers versus Hippies, in which a bulldozer is coming to mine a forest. Unbeknown to the engineers, there was a wizard guarding the forest.
Having survived the Brick of Doom curse and fought their way back into the contest, the third pairing, Gabby and Ryan, built a rotating circus with four stages, all viewable from every angle.
Lego Masters is produced by Endemol Shine Australia for the Nine Network.
