George Leonard, known as Il Principe, who featured in the Italian TV reality show Grande Fratello, has delayed his visit to Malta by a week after missing his flight last Wednesday.

Fans waited for the Italian celebrity at Club Rich, forming part of the Vivaldi Hotel, Paceville, in anguish. He did not turn up and instead informed the event organisers in a video conference he was “really sorry to have let his Maltese fans down”. He promised he would make up for it this coming Wednesday.

Mr Leonard is expected to be accompanied by his partner Carmela Gualtieri, another participant of Grande Fratello 10.

He was evicted on day 78.
