Married at First Sight relationship expert John Aiken has addressed co-star Mel Schilling's terminal cancer diagnosis in a heartbreaking interview.

Mel, 54, revealed on Friday (13 March) that doctors have informed her there is “nothing further they can do” to treat her cancer, which has now spread to her brain.

Speaking with Ally Langdon on A Current Affair, the dating coach said he "hopes" to be able to see her one last time, admitting the news had come as a "complete shock."

"It's unbelievable how quickly this disease has got on top of her,” he added.
