Married At First Sight star Mel Schilling has died at the age of 54.

Earlier this month, Mel disclosed that she had been diagnosed with colon cancer in 2023, which had spread to other parts of her body.

She told her followers: “My oncology team have now told me there is nothing further they can do. My light is starting to fade – and quickly.”

On Tuesday morning, Mel’s husband Gareth confirmed that she had “passed away peacefully” earlier that day “surrounded by love”.
