The contestants for the 15th season of The Block have been announced.

They will be renovating St Kilda's former Oslo Hotel, the 150 year old building which a Channel Nine production company spent $10,815,000 on just a block away from The Gatwick, the building they renovated on last years show.

The Oslo, believed to be around double the size of The Gatwick, was originally five stately Victorian houses before it was converted into a hotel.
