Who is Love Island Malta’s host Yazmin Helledie?

Apr 27 2023

After Love Island Malta unveiled their official host, Yazmin Helledie, we thought it would be a great idea to make you more familiar with the face you’ll be seeing during this long anticipated program on Maltese TV.

Yazmin rose to prominence during X-Factor Malta season 2 when she was paired with James Mifsud and tutored by Howard Keith.

However, what you might not know is that she participated in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 4 times, being a massive fan of the competition as a singer and songwriter.

But there is more to Yazmin outside of the world of music, having graduated from the University of Malta with a degree in B.Sc Communication Therapy and spending time working as an LSE with students.

Her latest gig as Love Island Malta host will undoubtedly push Helledie’s career forward, considering the popularity the programme has achieved off of Maltese shores.
