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."

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.”

ICYMI, Sam hopped on Instagram Thursday and said he feels no sorrow for ABC amid the historic fallout ... adding it's their fault for the drama because they cast "the female version of Devin" as their lead.

Devin was often questioned by the suitors on Jenn Tran's season of "The Bachelorette" ... as they saw him as disingenuous. He ended up winning Jenn's heart ... but then dumped her after they got engaged, because he had doubts about their relationship.

Devin didn't hold back when speaking to TMZ about the ordeal, saying Sam M. -- there were two Sams that season -- used his name to gain relevancy. He added ... "I guess my name pays more than his Home Depot spinoff or whatever it is they’re shooting down there. I’m hiring a new accountant soon, seems he needs a new career!"

He was passionate, sensitive, and endlessly driven to create. Those who truly knew him understood that his art was one of the purest reflections of who he was. While it’s no secret that Nicholas had struggles in the past, he was on medications and treatment to manage his diagnosis and he was optimistic about the future at the time of his passing.
