What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hello and welcome to Mamma Mia Out Loud. It's what women are actually talking about on Wednesday the 25th of March. I'm Holly Wainwright and if you're one of those people, if you have an iPhone and you're one of those people who's always going, is saying, shall I update? And you just go later, later, later, later.
I don't even notice when it asks me about the update. It's become invisible to me because I only press later.
We have a really good reason why you might want to press update if you are an iOS user. And that is because as of today on Apple Podcasts, we are on video. Exclusively on video on Apple Podcasts. You can watch the show as well as listen to the show. You don't have to. You can press. No, thank you. Just listening. Their voices are enough.
Yes.
We don't need to see them as well. We don't need to see them. But if you would like to, that is where we are. And if you update your phone, you will get that new version. You may have already done that because you might be one of those organised people, in which case, hi. Hey. Here we are.
Anyway, sorry, that's me. Who are you guys? I'm Claire Stephens. And I'm Em Burnham, filling in for Amelia today. God help us all.
We're like, Em, are you a geopolitical expert?
I'll pass the mic to Amelia when she gets back. Okay, let's see. Well, here's what's made our agenda for today, Em. Speaking of missing Amelia, the petrol price panic. I have a lot of questions that I immediately need answered.
Plus, Sarah Ferguson has been caught up in an alleged corgi cloning saga. Yes, you heard that right. And I want to talk about it.
A naughty's icon is back in my algorithm, recast as a divorce guru. So just how bananas is Rachel Zoe's hot divorcee era? And what does it tell us about spilling your side of a split story? But first, Claire Stephens.
In case you missed it, on Tuesday, married at first sight relationship expert Mel Schilling died. She was 54 years old. And she leaves behind her husband, Gareth Brisbane, and their 11-year-old daughter, Madison. Her husband shared the news with her followers, writing, Melanie Jane Brisbane-Shilling passed away peacefully today, surrounded by love. 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, and that gesture summed up our wee Melzi perfectly. Even then, her only thought was for Maddie and me. That's so beautiful.
So she's on maths now, am I right, Claire?
Yeah, for a few more weeks. So there's something very eerie about turning on your television and seeing her and knowing she's not here anymore.
I know. And it also is kind of shocking because she only went public, as it were, about her cancer return relatively recently. So I think it's really knocked people off.
Yeah, it was only a fortnight ago that she shared on Instagram. She was diagnosed with colon cancer in December 2023. Then in February 2024, they found nodules in her lungs. And then she was doing chemo for two years. And it was only in December last year that she discovered that the cancer had spread to her brain. And she shared that news. And she wrote, if I could leave you with one thing, it would simply be this. If something doesn't feel right, please get it checked out. It might just save your life.
She'd been an amazing advocate for colon cancer during that time. And I just want to say, I think news like this is exceptionally hard for obviously people directly affected who love Mel, but for anyone with cancer in their lives, because a woman who's still on our screens is gone and it just seems so unfair and so short. And I think it's really stressful and difficult. I wanted to share a little bit of a beautiful tribute that Elizabeth Day, the podcaster and novelist, wrote about Mel Schilling. I didn't really realise they were such good friends.
Yeah, they did a podcast together because Elizabeth Day loved Maths Australia. And so I think she interviewed Mel and then they did a whole little series together.
