Mel Schilling 'CANCER WON'T BEAT ME

Toward the end of T 2023, Married At First Sight expert Mel Schilling was on top of the world. She was busy filming Season 11 of the hit Aussie reality show and about to start work on her third season of the UK version. She'd also recently relocated to Blighty with her husband, Gareth Brisbane, and their eightyear-old daughter Maddie.

"Everything was going great, but, I was exhausted all the time," Mel, 51, tells New Idea.
