Married At First Sight Australia's Mel Schilling joins UK version
Australian dating expert Mel Schilling joins the new, expanded series of Married At First Sight UK.

Married At First Sight Australia dating expert Mel Schilling is joining the next series of the UK version, it has been announced.

The UK series is being revamped for its next run, adopting the expanded format used in Australia and moving to E4, where it will be stripped over 20 hour-long episodes.

The channel has enjoyed huge success by showing the Australian series, with around 1.5 million viewers tuning in every weeknight.

Schilling, who boasts 20 years of dating expertise, has been on the Aussie show since 2016 and will be joined by returning expert Paul Carrick Brunson, who also appears on Celebs Go Dating.

"I am so excited to join the super-sized UK version of our much-loved Married At First Sight," said Schilling.

"Being a part of the Australian experiment for 7 seasons has taught me so much about love, marriage, relationships (and conflict) and I can't wait to share my advice and insight with you all.

"I have been overwhelmed by the UK response to the Australian version on E4 and have been humbled by all the beautiful messages of support from the UK fans of the show.

"I am really looking forward to joining forces with Paul C. Brunson (as I'm a huge fan of Celebs Go Dating!) and together I know we are set to shake up the UK conversation about matters of the heart - I just hope I can decipher all those different accents!

"In this time of the global pandemic, now more than ever, we need to focus on connection and engaging with stories that warm our hearts and bring us closer together. I look forward to embracing all that is great about the love and warmth of the people of the UK."

The series is due to be filmed in the next few months for broadcast later this year.
