WATCH: How cute! X Factor finalist Timea surprised by special guest
Timea had us tearing up before she even got on stage!

After a short break for the festive season, X Factor Malta returned last night for the first live shows of its third edition.

But getting on stage wasn’t the only special moment the show had in store for finalist Timea…

Turns out the X Factor team snuck in a special gift for the singer and it was up to her to guess what it was. 

After a few unsuccessful attempts, Timea opened the gift box only to find her brother, who is currently residing in the Netherlands!

As you can imagine many tears ensued.

The emotion felt in their reunion was surely carried onto the stage with Timea, as she belted out her rendition of Zoe Wees’ ‘Control’.   

Unfortunately, the X Factor Malta journey has come to an end for some, bringing the total number of finalists  down to 10. 

Here are your finalists for the second week of the live shows:  

  1. Timea Farr 
  2. Lisa Gauci  
  3. Beyond 
  4. Ceci & Kriss 
  5. Soul Tide  
  6. Drakard  
  7. Cheryl Balzan  
  8. Audrienne 
  9. Kevin Paul  
  10. Ryan Hili  

Who are you excited to see next week?
