Maltese singer Kevin Borg won the Swedish Pop Idol final yesterday evening before a crowd of 15,000 people at the Globe Arena in Stockholm.

His victory came a year to the day since he left Malta to live in Sweden with his girlfriend Sofia. That was all the time it took him to learn Swedish and sing his way into Swedish hearts.

Some 8,000 contestants had entered the Swedish Idol contest.

Another Maltese, Nathalie Gauci, won the Australian Idol contest in November last year.
