With only a few weeks to go for Malta’s take on international television show Love Island, showrunner Christian Gravina told TVM morning programme TVAM that over 380 persons applied take party.

Gravina went on to explain that participants will be interviewed by a psychologist before the adventure begins to ensure that everyone’s mental health remains in tact since the programme requires participants to leave everything behind.
