Delighted cries and bursts of applause filled the halls of St Vincent de Paul residence for the elderly when Malta Eurovision Song contest winner Gianluca Bezzina arrived at work yesterday morning.

The 23-year-old doctor was greeted with champagne, party poppers and large banners with “Well done, Doctor” splashed across them, all of which had been hurriedly prepared by his colleagues in advance of his arrival.

“I’m even more excited than you are for Eurovision,” one nurse exclaimed, amidst many handshakes and pats on the back.

The singing doctor said he was eager to return to work and get back to a routine.
