Mel Schilling -- the host of "Married at First Sight UK" -- has died.

Schilling's husband, Gareth Brisbane, announced the sad news in an Instagram post, writing she passed away peacefully Tuesday "surrounded by love."

The death follows a terminal cancer diagnosis, which Schilling revealed on March 12. At the time, Schilling said she had been battling the disease for about three years. She was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2023 and had it removed the following year ... but later "small nodules" were found in her lungs.

In his post honoring his late wife, Gareth wrote ... "In her final moments, when I thought cancer had taken away her ability to speak, she ushered me closer and whispered a message for Maddie and me that will sustain me for the rest of my life. It took all of her remaining strength ... Even then, her only thought was for Maddie and me.”

Robert Irwin's back Down Under to shoot a new TV show ... but, it seems he brought something back to Australia with him -- a woman some online think is his perfect match.

The two were seen laughing and chatting comfortably near the set of "DWTS: The Next Pro" ... a show being filmed on the Gold Coast not far from where Robert and his sister, Bindi Irwin, were born.

The new show will follow contestants as they vie for a spot as a professional dancer on the next season of the U.S. version of "Dancing with the Stars."

We're learning an unsettling reason why Tina Knowles' Texas pop-up eatery was shut down at the Houston Rodeo last week -- apparently, a customer complained they vomited blood after eating the gumbo ... leading health inspectors to find the pop-up operators grossly mishandled seafood.

We told you about it -- Beyoncé's mom's establishment -- Mama Tina’s Gumbo -- was closed on March 16 due to a complaint investigation... and now, KPRC 2 News is reporting they obtained Houston Health Department records that say a customer complained they got wildly ill after eating the establishment's gumbo. The customer claimed that, in addition to throwing up blood, they experienced chills, nausea and fever.

The department of health found the gumbo was cooked off-site, cooled down, stuffed into non-food-grade orange buckets and then hauled off to a freezer at an unlicensed spot, according to the health department report obtained by KPRC 2 News. The food was then reportedly transported to a refrigerated trailer and thawed before being served.

DB posted up in the back and watched Cruz and co. crush a few songs ... before he was spotted by photogs leaving the joint. He stopped for a selfie with a fan and told the gathered group he thought Cruz's show was just "amazing."
