Malta’s media queen, Eileen Montesin, took to her social media to announce that she is going into retirement.

Having said that, she assured her fans that this does not mean the end for Eileen Montesin, as she will still be active in the media industry but in a more relaxed way, assisting her daughter Christine. She went on to say how it is finally time to put her mind at rest after many years of hard work.

She recounted how she’s been constantly working since she was 16 years old. Only a day after her sweet 16 birthday on October 1st, she instantly headed to work at a coat production company. She spent only a month working there, admitting that being a seamstress wasn’t her forte.

From there, she went on to work at another factory, all the while knowing very well that she wanted to work in the media industry. After other short stints at different workplaces, such as a receptionist at a hotel in Sliema, applications with PBS had been issued, and she instantly applied for a job – ending up landing her job in media as a radio announcer in September 1979, and she hasn’t stopped since.

In her long successful media career, Eileen produced some of the best TV shows and programs, from “Undercover” to “Dejjem Tieghek Becky” and “KC,” just to name a few.
