Emma Muscat may be one of the most famous faces in Malta right now, but she’s proving pretty popular in Italy too.

The Maltese starlet, who was eliminated from the Amici talent show last weekend, met up with her fans in Padua yesterday in an event organised by Vodafone. 

And the event was very well-attended, with youths queuing up all the way across the length of the building for a chance to meet, and perhaps take a photo, with Emma. 

“Thank you! <3” she told her fans as she retweeted a video of the long queue. 

Emma will return to Malta in the coming days where she is expected to receive a hero’s welcome.  

“Now I’ll return to Malta, to my friends, my dog, my mum’s food – I’ve missed it so much!” she said yesterday. “And the sea, the sand… Obviously I want to make music [in Italy], but also in Malta, because Malta is in my heart. I wanted to win this programme because it would be an honour for me.”

Will you be at the airport to welcome Emma home?
