We are thrilled to be working with our local broadcast and production partners on this new version in Malta, and we relish the opportunity to delight an even wider audience.”
Mark Grech, co-founder of greatt Company limited, added: “greatt is committed to bringing the best shows to Malta, and producing this latest version of Big Brother epitomises what we can do on the island.
