Weeks after Mel Schilling, the dating coach on Australia's iteration of Married at First Sight, announced she would step away from the hit series for health reasons, she’s now shared that her cancer has spread and there’s nothing the doctors can do.
In an Instagram post, Schilling, 54, shared that she received the tragic news from her oncology team.
"Hearing those words changes everything," she wrote.
View this post on InstagramIn December 2023, Schilling was diagnosed with colon cancer. Following surgery to remove the tumor she nicknamed “Terry,” the reality TV star said she was in the clear. In February2024, however, small nodules were found in her lungs.
While filming Married at First Sight, she underwent several rounds of chemotherapy and was looking forward to a “groundbreaking clinical trial” that was to start in March 2026. That is, until the cancer spread to her brain.
“Over Christmas, however, I began experiencing blinding headaches and numbness down my right side,” she shared in her post. “After many tests I was told the cancer had spread to the left side of my brain and, despite subsequent radiotherapy sessions, my oncology team have now told me there is nothing further they can do.”
She continued, “So that’s where I am now. My light is starting to fade — and quickly. But I am still here, still fighting, and surrounded by the most incredible love,” adding, “I honestly don’t know how long I have left, but I do know I will fight to my last breath and will be surrounded by the love and support of my people.”
According to The Guardian, Schilling joined Married at First Sight, a Nine Entertainment program, in 2016. In a statement, the network said they were “deeply saddened” by the news.
“[Mel] is a woman of extraordinary depth, kindness, and an unshakeable spirit,” the network said. “She isn’t just a colleague; she is family. Our thoughts, love, and strength are with Mel, her husband, Gareth, and her daughter, Maddie, during this incredibly difficult time. Mel, we are all behind you.”
