Has Malta got a new super couple - Drakard and Lisa Gauci
Feb 12 2022 Share

If you’ve been keeping up with X-Factor Malta Season 3, the voices and talent of two young budding artists Lisa Gauci and Drakard are sure to have caught your attention.

But now, speculations have surfaced that the two young singers might me Malta’s next super couple. After a story takeover by host Ben Camille, the two were snapshotted backstage cuddling up close.

The host even went so far as to throw in some heart eyes emoji’s as a filter, and Drakard’s arm around Lisa fanned the flames even more. 

The two artists met at X-Factor and both were fan favourites, receiving standing ovations and nothing but praise by the judges. But if the rumours are true, the couple will have to set their connection apart for tonight as they battle it out in the finals. 

Some rumours had already started when the two had went on stage holding hands when the four finalists were announced. But many simply pointed out this could have good sportsmanship as Ryan and Cheryl did so too.

We’re sure that, if of course they are in fact actually dating, the singers can manage a bit of professional competition on stage. And who knows – should one of them win, the other would have more reason to celebrate!

XFactor Malta Season 3 airs tonight, with finalists Lisa and Drakard accompanied by Cheryl Balzan and Ryan Hili vying for the prize.

A Wii Sports sequel is coming to Nintendo Switch after 13 years

A Wii Sports sequel is coming to Nintendo Switch after 13 years

After 13 years since establishing itself as a gaming classic, Nintendo has announced that a Wii Sports sequel is finally coming to the Nintendo Switch.

When the Wii launched in 2006, it took over the world with its widespread appeal, attracting avid gamers looking for a lighter style of play whilst also capturing the interest of families searching for a communal activity. Ticking such boxes at a super-reasonable price point made the Wii the ideal family consol and on top of all this was Wii Sports, a game which brought together the youngest of children to grandparents and everyone in between with simple graphics and understandable mechanics.

Wii Sports went on to become the system’s best-selling game of all time, with its Motion Plus-utilising sequel Wii Sports Resort arriving after a few months and now, Wii Sports for Nintendo Switch. The release will reportedly include Tennis, Soccer, Bowling, Volleyball, Chambara and Badminton, with Golf to be added later in 2022 as part of a few update.

Over 75% of Malta's 112 emergency calls were invalid or fake, minister reveals
Feb 11 2022 Share

In a recent address by Minister for Home Affairs Byron Camilleri, it was revealed that more than three our of every four calls to emergency line 112 were either invalid or fake.

The minister revealed how the emergency hotline received close to 340,000 calls in 2021, with 260,000 of them either being for another entity or being “deliberately abusive.” While the 112 line is manned by the Malta Police Force, the issues presented during the calls are handled between the police, army, civil protection and ambulance service.

Camilleri urged the public not to misuse the emergency hotline as it takes up time from those truly in need. At a recent presentation outside the Zabbar primary school on European 112 day, school children were given a demonstration on such responses, with Camilleri and Education Minister Clifton Grima revealing that around 83,000 genuine calls were made in 2021, with the most common request being for paramedics and ambulances.

Ira Losco shares importance of recycled clothing in latest snap of daughter Gigi
Feb 11 2022 Share

Whilst we are more accustomed to Ira Losco judging songs and performances on X Factor Malta, the local songstress’ latest Facebook post revealed her two cents on the importance of recycled clothing, especially amongst children.

On the feast St. Paul’s Shipwreck, Losco shared two photos of her youngest child, Gigi, highlighting that her daughter was wearing hand-me-downs from a close friend’s daughter. The ‘Hey Now’ singer went on to say that hand-me-downs are not only pretty, most times children do not get to wear pieces for more than half a season.

In a comment on the same post, Losco also said that she always wore hand-me-downs and loves it, accentuating the fact that some items never lose fashion and they become something completely new by upstyling, along with being completely economical. The post has since garnered over 3.7k likes and 360 comments.

Do you share Ira Losco’s sentiments?
