Sabrina praised for making her mental health a priority

May 22 2023

Viewers of Love Island Malta were absolutely baffled yesterday after one of the most beloved contestants, Sabrina, decided to leave the villa.

With herself and many of the other islanders in tears, Sabrina explained how this was an immensely difficult decision to make but that it had to be taken for various reasons.

First, the abandonment of her daily routine proved too much for her and leading her to not feel ‘100%’. She also said that she wanted to give the others space to create more connections between each other and the incoming bombshells.

This received massive praise by viewers of the show, who praised Sabrina for being able to speak about and prioritise her mental health, even on live television.

They also pointed out how it was already very difficult for her from the get-go, being the oldest competitor with quite an age gap.

Sabrina is 33-years-old, with the oldest male competitor being Nate at 29. Her match Kyle, with whom she coupled at the beginning of the programme, was 26. Despite this, they became one of, if not the most favourite couple in the villa.

Woman jumps into the sea to save her €750 Jacquemus bag

May 22 2023

Now this is what we call dedication to the brand.

Whilst dining at a local sea-side restaurant in Malta, TikTok user @tayylorking0’s €750 Jacquemus bag fell into the sea.

@tayylorking0

You have to respect the dedication hahahahaha @Jacquemus

♬ Oh No – Kreepa

But Taylor wasn’t about to let her precious, and expensive, bag be sacrificed to the local waters near InterContinental’s seaside restaurant of Paranga.

So she did what she had to do – she leapt into the sea and retrieved her pink bag. Documenting the stunt on TikTok, she showed her followers that she was in fact reunited with it, having managed to retrieve it before it made its way down to the depths.

She also took the opportunity to make the brand of Jacquemus aware of her dedication by tagging them in the TikTok description.

Would you have jumped into the water to save your expensive bag?

The country, formerly a Soviet republic, applied in 2022 to join the EU and became a candidate in June of that same year along with Ukraine.

The EP President addressed the crowd, urging them to ‘hold steady, keep strong. The world can hear the heart of Europe beating on the streets of Chisinau.’

‘Moldova will make Europe stronger, safer and more free. We will be with you all the way. Together there is nothing we cannot face.’

This of course amidst increasing tension with Vladimir Putin’s Russia as neighbouring Ukraine continues to repel back the invasion. The bid by Moldova to join the EU was largely prompted following the war in Ukraine.
