Ben Camille Speaks Out On Yesterday’s Intense Episode

Jun 16 2025

Taking to social media after a very intense Love Island Malta episode, which saw the islanders sit down to view scenes from the past episodes they didn’t get to see just yet, producer Ben Camille issued an important message.

‘Love isn’t about never arguing – it’s about caring enough to feel strongly’, he wrote.

‘The hurt comes from closeness. The healing comes from the love that refuses to let go.’

‘Sometimes,’ he continued, ‘we hurt each other not because we don’t care, but because we do. In the end true love always wins. Ps. Remember these are real people. Real emotions.’

The episode saw several islanders go head to head – Michela and Cruyff over a pool kiss and a late night chat the latter had with others; Sean with Yennifer after she saw his Casa Amor kiss with Nazan; Diane and Gabriel over their suspicion that AJ and Carmen planned their villa entry, and a lot more.

Malta Airport Now With Direct Flights To Stuttgart & Helsinki

Jun 16 2025

Malta International Airport has expanded its summer route network with the introduction of direct flights to Stuttgart and Helsinki.

Stuttgart is a completely new destination for the airport, while the route to Helsinki marks the return of a connection that had been absent for six years. Now operated by Norwegian, the Helsinki service further strengthens Malta’s links with the Scandinavian market.

These new routes follow a busy May, during which the airport welcomed 927,709 passengers, representing an 8.1% increase compared to the same period in 2024.

A seat load factor of 84.9% was recorded, showing strong and consistent demand for travel to and from Malta.

The United Kingdom remained Malta International Airport’s top market for the second consecutive month, accounting for 22.4% of total traffic.

Italy, Germany, Poland and France followed closely behind. Notably, Poland was the fastest-growing market, registering a 35.8% increase in passenger numbers year on year.

This rise was largely fuelled by more frequent flights on the Warsaw route and the introduction of a new airline operating to and from Poland.

These developments highlight Malta’s growing appeal as a travel destination and the airport’s continued efforts to enhance its connectivity with key European cities.

Watch: The Moment The Paceville Building Collapsed

Watch the moment the Paceville apartment block known as Tania Flats collapsed.

The collapse took place last week, with around 32 people safely evacuated before this took place.

The collapse left the Paceville street covered in dust, with various videos on social media showing the aftermath of the avoided tragedy.

‘The BCA and the Occupational Health and Safety Authority (OHSA) had already inspected the site and issued a stop notice on 10 June after identifying serious structural problems.’

Since then, the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) and Civil Protection Department (CPD), along with other entities, completed the controlled demolitions of structures adjacent to the collapsed building.

This was part of an effort to ensure further safety, with more residents evacuated and given temporary residences as the work was carried out.

The site will be cleared in the coming days and the road reopened to the public with careful monitoring.

Gato’s Pastizzi Making Maltese Pastry Known Over Australia

Jun 16 2025

Gato’s Pastizzi’s Philip is making the iconic Maltese pastry known to thousands of people by launching a sit-down podcast-style explainer all about pastizzi.

@gatos.pastizzi

🎥 What makes a Maltese Pastizz so special? 🇲🇹🥟 In this second part of our short series, I’m sharing what a Pastizz actually is. Crispy, golden pastry filled with traditional ingredients like ricotta or peas, and baked until flaky perfection. Yes we also have other flavours that are an extension from the 2 traditional ones. I’m Phillip, the owner behind Gato’s, and for me, Pastizzi are more than just food—they’re a taste of Malta, a reason to gather, and a way to connect with something meaningful. For Maltese families, Pastizzi are tied to moments that matter—special occasions, weekends, holidays. You’ll find relatives laughing and joking in the kitchen, mixing dough, preparing fillings, and passing down stories as much as recipes. It’s not just about what’s on the plate—it’s about who you’re sharing it with. And even here in Australia, that spirit lives on. They’re perfect for: – Family get-togethers – Quick lunches – Late-night snacks – Hosting without the stress, and so many other special, or not so special moments. Having a bag (or more) in the freezer means you’re always ready to serve something warm, filling, and crowd-pleasing—without any fuss. 📍You’ll find Gato’s Pastizzi at independent supermarkets, delis, and specialty stores across Australia.
