She joined season six of Married At First Sight to find a husband and start a family and left the experiment still single.
But in her latest Instagram post, Mel Lucarelli lead fans to believe that she was expecting a baby.
On Tuesday, the 39-year-old shared a photo of herself beaming as she posed with what appeared to be at first glance, a pregnancy test.

The photo was in fact a sponsored post for a product and app called Natural Cycles – a ‘hormone-free’ alternative to contraception, which tracks women’s hormone levels.
Unsurprisingly, there were a number of her followers initially believed her post was a pregnancy announcement, including one who admitted: ‘You got me.’
