Mel Schilling's Brave Battle: Colon Cancer Spread

0:00It's March 12th, let's get into entertainment and celebrity news. Mel Schilling, the 54-year-old dating coach for married at first sight, shared heartbreaking news this week. She revealed her colon cancer, first diagnosed in December 2023, as now spreads to her lungs and the left side of her brain. Doctors say no further treatments are possible after radiotherapy. She pushed through 16 rounds of chemotherapy while still filming the show. A promising clinical trial for her specific gene type was set to start this month, but severe headaches and numbness on her right side halted that. Planed last Christmas, Schilling urged everyone to get checked if something feels off with their health. She also shared a touching tribute to her husband and daughter, highlighting how much they mean to her during this tough time. The expert joined the Australian version of married at first sight back in 2016 and later the UK edition on Channel 4. Last month, she stepped away from the Australian show to focus on her family and health.

They'll have fellow expert John Aiken step in for the rest of the current UK series filming. The Daily News Now is powered by our sponsor, Link in the description. Some travel miles to find peace.
