The new project comes as Shaynna, along with fellow Block judges Darren Palmer and Neale Whitaker, are copping flak for their overly harsh criticism on the show.
In a series of tweets, viewers recently slammed the experts for ‘nitpicking’ and being ‘tedious’ with their critiques, with some even urging producers to replace the trio.
‘I think it’s time to take a leaf out of MasterChef and change up the judges. Refresh required,’ one wrote.

‘When are these judges being replaced? The wardrobe isn’t for having a party – it’s for storing clothes and shoes,’ tweeted another.
The negative tweets particularly came out in force during Sunday’s bathroom reveal, with one posting, ‘I mean are the judges correct with who wins at auction? They have terrible odds.’
Fans are not the only ones who have urged for a judge shakeup, with contestants Mitch Edwards and Mark McKie slamming them over their harsh criticism this year.

Speaking to Woman’s Day magazine on Monday, the stylish granddads accused the expert panel of being ‘disrespectful’ by providing ‘silly, unfounded’ feedback about their rooms, calling for the judges to be replaced.
‘For Shaynna to make comments like ‘I hate it’ and then for Neale to say ‘it’s better for our room to burn down’… They know that people have worked really, really hard,’ Mitch, 58, lamented.
Mark, 59, agreed, arguing that Shaynna, Neale and Darren are ‘out of touch’ when it comes to the property market and aren’t fit to dole out advice.
‘The judges aren’t real estate agents – they don’t sell in the market,’ Mark said, adding: It would be good timing for the longevity of The Block to bring in people who have new ideas. Fresh blood would be great.’

‘And some talent,’ Mitch jeered, before suggesting he and Mitch should take over as judges.
However, a New Idea magazine insider claimed on Monday that Mitch and Mark struggled to accept criticism this season, claiming: ‘They felt they knew better and were emotional over any critiques.’
‘They like to think they are the judges,’ the spy claimed.
