Malta Wakes Up To Heavy Rainfall

Feb 20 2025

The Maltese islands woke up to heavy rainfall this morning, as has been forecasted for this upcoming week.

Facebook page ‘It-Temp Madwarna’ posted a meteorological photo of the weather patterns over the islands, with blue, green and purple hues covering most of Malta.

Gozo, however, seems rather untouched.

However, this rain is not expected to persist throughout the day, according to most reports.

And yet, Friday is expected to bring even more rain as a cloudy weekend is set to persist.

Chanelle Loses Head Of House Title To Erika

Feb 20 2025

Erika has taken over as Head of House, mere hours after Chanelle was appointed to the position.

This came after Chanelle broke the rule of speaking to another contestant, Josline, without a microphone.

Big Brother said that the rules should be clear after four weeks, and showed the contestants the clip where the two contestants interacted without use of the microphone.

This led to Chanelle’s title being revoked and Erika taking up the mantle of Head of House.

Chanelle is also joining Marvic, Jay, Sean, Claire and Josline in being limited to eating staple food items for the week.
