Sending good vibes to you @doublec

She was a true inspiration.

So sad to hear about the passing of Mel.

dapsnotplimsolls · 24/03/2026 19:09

PSA - I'm out tonight so if the thread gets busy, can someone else start a new one please?

Sat - coke zero ready and corn on the cobs boiling

John is probably too distressed to be recording any messages.

mumofoneAloneandwell · 24/03/2026 19:30

Watching to see whether they do a tribute to Mel x

The continuity announcer has done a sombre intro to the show. 'It was Mels wish that we carry on showing others try to find love'

Rest well Mel - your finding love later in life gives this jaded woman hope ❤️

Appalonia · 24/03/2026 19:30

That was nice of C4 to acknowledge Mel.

Pianoaholic · 24/03/2026 19:31

The channel 4 continuity announcer did mention it just before the programme began.

dillite · 24/03/2026 19:31

It won't have made sense to pull the show as it was recorded months ago. Different had the filming was still going on.

TakeTheCuntingQuichePatricia · 24/03/2026 19:31

Checking in.

So sad about Mel, she looked incredible in that green dress last night.

Appalonia · 24/03/2026 19:33

It feels weird and kind of inappropriate to be making our usual snarky comments tonight, but what what else can we do...?

This.

I've got lots to say but I'm holding off

mumofoneAloneandwell · 24/03/2026 19:33

Maybe we could all do a toast to Mel before moving on to the topic of gossiping and judging? ❤️

dillite · 24/03/2026 19:34

Actually Stella didn't name any names. You were the one who outed yourself and then doubled down.

Villanousvillans · 24/03/2026 19:34

She would have wanted us to carry on watching but I feel really sad.😢

Out on a school night, get you!

Me too.

Good tribute to Mel and her family from E4.

Never that keen on the intimacy show. Always a bit cringe!

How does Brook thinks she’s owed an apology!!!!

mumofoneAloneandwell · 24/03/2026 19:35

To Mel 🥂

Once youre settled up there, may we give you a giggle if you see us x

Cheers to her!

now to the gossiping…

MargoLivebetter · 24/03/2026 19:36

Toasting here @mumofoneAloneandwell. Lovely suggestion.

dillite · 24/03/2026 19:36

Brooke is doing the textbook DARVO. Perhaps if she laid off coke, she wouldn't be so obsessed by other people's happiness.

Such sad news about expert Mel. As PPs have said, she look absolutely stunning in that dress last night. It will make the rest of the series rather difficult to watch without thinking of her and her family. Not sure if it’s finished airing in Aus yet but her loss will be felt there too. I wonder if there will be an announcement before tonight’s show. It would also be lovely, later on, to see a tribute to her from across all the series.

She looked stunning last night in her green 💚. Like an old skool Hollywood star.

Beautiful woman both inside and out. Radiated warmth and kindness. Full of wise advice yet not afraid to challenge (men’s invariably) disrespectful behaviour. We’d all benefit from channelling a bit of Mel. Agree, would be great if they made a tribute show later down the line, if her family would like it.

My heart breaks for her daughter, especially 😭

Indy have a live thread with tributes: https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/mel-schilling-death-latest-updates-mafs-cancer-tributes-b2944552.html

MyGhastIsFlabbered · 24/03/2026 19:36

I feel sad watching it. It was nice of E4 to acknowledge it.

it feels wrong to post my thoughts on the program now though

Pianoaholic · 24/03/2026 19:37

I will remember Mel looking lovely in her green dress x
