So sad. Rip
Thought it was perhaps from shame but turns out she died of cancer.
We will never forget the incredible contribution she made to cunts getting married without having ever seen each other.
Honestly terrible, tragic news. Mel was an amazing person and will always be remembered and immortalised as such. Rest in peace Mel
Holy crap, that was quick. Thought I read a story only a week or so ago when she said it wasn’t looking good, but I didn’t think it would be so brutally quick. That’s awful.
She is at the big dinner party in the sky, RIP
Her light has now gone out. RIP Mel, I’m so sad for her and her family ❤️
Reality tv just got… a little more real.
That sucks
Terrible show but she seemed like an awesome person and devastating for her little girl and family.
😥
Don’t sweat the small stuff. So true and we all forget it.
Rip Mel, condolences to the family.
MAFS may have been absolute fucking trash, but this is so sad. Condolences to her family. She seemed like a genuinely lovely person.
Rest well, Mel.
Oh no, poor lady. Watching for the first time, she seems a lovely lady. Rest peacefully Mel
RIP that very young.
I’ve never watched an episode ever of MAFS I remember when the show first came out gay marriage was still illegal, yet we had this show about strangers getting married. The hypocrisy made me sick.

What does this mean
Has anyone ever noticed that if you get into a car owned by someone who wears alot of makeup, there is a film that forms inside the windows? There’s wipe marks an smudges all over the windscreen from constantly wiping it down. Anyway, I can only imagine what she was inhaling on set. Fake tan, knock off perfume, makeup film, fumes from various adhesives for eyelashes/hair extensions/fake nails, hair gels/sprays. Whenever I see an add for Married at First Site I get a faint whiff of that smell a new inflatable pool toy has.
Her family should get a workers comp payout. This was clearly a work related illness.
Oh no!… Anyway…
