Married At First Sight expert Mel Schilling made an accidental dig about men in the entertainment industry on Monday's instalment of This Morning - leaving host Dermot O'Leary looking insulted.
Mel, 51, appeared on This Morning a straight-talking agony aunt phone-in session as she helped several viewers with their romance woes and dating disasters.
One caller in particular asked Mel for help with a certain type of man she has her eye on - someone who works in the entertainment or media industry.
After hearing the caller's dating woes, Married At First Sight expert Mel joked: "Good luck finding a straight man in entertainment."
