Taking to Instagram, Mel wrote: “After 12 extraordinary seasons, I have made the heartfelt decision to step away from my role as an expert on Married At First Sight Australia. This hasn’t been an easy choice I have made lightly.
“In recent years, my health challenges and living in the UK, spending up to three months a year away from my family, is no longer sustainable. It has become clear that I must make a change that puts my family, health and time at the very centre of my life.”
Mel continued: “What began as a small social experiment has grown into a global phenomenon. And I have felt truly privileged to be part of that journey. I am incredibly grateful to the fans, the production team, and my fellow experts for their trust and passion over the years.
“I am leaving, not with sadness, but with a deep sense of gratitude for everything we have achieved together.”
