As the most recent evictee from Big Brother Malta, Kyle made a dramatic and emotional exit.

Before his eviction, @kmattard’s boyfriend visited the Big Brother Malta house during the ‘freeze’ challenge, surprising him with a heartfelt moment, a bouquet of flowers, and cherished memories from their relationship.

Kyle became visibly emotional as his boyfriend offered words of support ahead of his upcoming birthday, emphasising how incredibly proud he was of him.

Kyle was evicted moments later and was seen leaving the house visibly emotional and frustrated.

Kyle said that he felt like he said and did everything as he thought was right but was still disappointed in the elimination.
