Married at First SightU.K. and Australia host and dating coach Mel Schilling, who just revealed her terminal cancer diagnosis two weeks ago, is dead at 54.
The beloved reality star's passing was announced on Instagram on Tuesday by her husband, Gareth Brisbane, who shared that she "passed away peacefully today, surrounded by love."
"To most of you, she was Mel Schilling - matriarch of MAFS and queen of reality TV. To Maddie and me, she was our wee Melsie: an incredible mum, role model, and soulmate," Brisbane wrote in a heartbreaking post.
“In her final moments, when I thought cancer had taken away her ability to speak, she ushered me closer and whispered a message for Maddie and me that will sustain me for the rest of my life,” wrote Brisbane. “It took all of her remaining strength … Even then, her only thought was for Maddie and me.”

When Did Schilling Share Her Terminal Diagnosis?
Two weeks ago, Schilling took to Instagram to share that the colon cancer she had been diagnosed with in December of 2023 was now terminal.
"Unfortunately, in late February 2024 during a routine scan, small nodules were discovered in my lungs. The cancer had metastasised and my world changed again in an instant. Over the past two years, while filming MAFS, I underwent 16 rounds of chemotherapy and was later told I was eligible for a groundbreaking clinical trial specific to my gene type, due to start in March 2026. Once again, my optimism soared that I might beat this thing," she shared.
However, she started to suffer from blinding headaches and numbness down her right side over Christmas. She soon learned her cancer had spread to the left side of her brain, and radiotherapy wasn't successful.
"My oncology team have now told me there is nothing further they can do," Schilling shared.
The star concluded by expressing her gratitude and encouraging others to get checked out if they had any health concerns.
