Yesterday evening saw the launch of the very first episode of Love Island Malta. But while many were tuning in to see the first official coupling of the show in the summery villa, many were reporting problems due to TVM Live crashing.

The website seemingly crashed due to the high number of viewers tuning in to watch the episode, with the official Love Island social media acknowledging the issue later on in the evening.

Writing on Instagram story, the page first thanked all those who tuned in to watch. ‘Unfortunately, we have been informed that due to the high numbers of online streaming viewership, people were unable to view the episode.’

‘We would like to express that although we do not have control over TVM’s online streaming, we will do our best to have the issue solved as soon as possible’, the statement ended.

Local social media also expressed its frustration at not being able to view the episode, indicating that many were in fact attempting to tune in to watch the first of its kind show on Maltese islands.

Towards the end of the video, the legendary local rapper says that ‘maybe’ if we used the Maltese language, we would be in the finally.
