WATCH: Davinia And Mark Ta’ Xarabank Sell Sex Toys Live On Air
Last night’s Lovin Live episode saw our Chucky sit down with popular soul singer Davinia and Xarabank’s very own Mark, and things quickly got heated.
After a couple of spot-on accent impersonations and embarrassing surprise guest introductions, Davinia and Mark actually had to sell dildos live on air. Before that happened, though, here are the other highlights from this week’s Lovin Live.
1. It was off to a shocking start for Davinia
A video submission from one of Davinia’s closest friends of her getting startled during a sleepover, followed by an actual jump scare live on air seconds later? We were just getting started…
2. “I mean…”
Davinia had a lot of stories to tell of her celebrity life in Los Angeles, from hanging out with Miles Heizer from 13 Reasons Why to literally attending Leonardo DiCaprio’s house party.
At one point, Davinia talks about meeting Jeremy Meeks, the “hot convict” who shot to fame last year after a very photogenic mugshot of his went viral. When Chucky asked Davinia whether the convict-turned-model really was that hot, the singer replied with one of the thirstiest looks ever. “Let’s just say he looked like chocolate”.
3. “I love Valentina… I mean, as a character, as a person. I mean, I love you Valentina.”
Following his and Peppi’s latest notorious appearance on the now-cancelled talk show starring Ben Camille, Mark was instantly put on the spot about his self-proclaimed crushing over Maltese model Valentina Rossi. And while he did try to set the record straight, he did also end up throwing in a coupe of L words in there in the process.
4. “Valentina has a radio show with a co-host called Nate. You know Nate…”
Leave it up to Chucky to bring up an embarrassing secret connection like this. Yes, Mark might have a crush on Valentina Rossi, but Davinia had actually gone on a date with her radio co-host Nate Darmanin. “We go way way back,” she said.
5. “You’re Gozitan? What fun! Can you speak in Gozitan?”
What started off with Mark explaining how he’s excited (but a little nervous) about finally being on air speaking in English, quickly turned into Davinia wanting him to just, you know, “speak in Gozitan”.
After Davinia failed majestically at the Gozitan accent, though, Mark obliged by teaching her how to say, “Għandi ġbejna”. Please note, her first try lead him to jokingly tell her, “Saying it like that makes you look like a ġbejna,” which we’re pretty sure will be going down in the Burn Hall of Fame.
6. Setting the record straight about Lovin Malta writing and speaking in English
We get hate for writing and speaking in English on quite a frequent basis, so Chucky needed to take a couple of seconds to clarify this issue. Our big international audience is one of the main reasons behind this, but as Mark hilariously added, we also do it so his Australian cousins can finally understand him.
7. “What do you mean you want tourists?”
Another connection Davinia and Mark share is the singer’s interview on Xarabank back in 2014 about a traumatic experience she had in Istanbul together with her sister. While the situation is definitely a serious one, it was the reconstruction by Mark’s team – along with a classic quote by Davinia – which was the subject of this quick light conversation. In case you’re wondering, this is the video they were talking about.
8. Hidden talents, hidden talents everywhere
From Davinia pulling off a perfect Australian accent and whistling flawlessly to Mark moving his ears backwards and forwards on their own, this week’s guests were full of surprise talents. “This will become a meme eventually,” Mark said. You heard him ladies and gentlemen.
9. Davinia showed Mark the world
Mark used to sing in a choir, and between that, Davinia being a singer, a huge JBL speaker, and lyrics at Chucky’s disposition, it was time for an impromptu Aladdin duet.
But was it really Davinia who showed Mark the world, or the other way round? Judging by the passion on Mark’s eyes, it might be the latter.
10. Teleshopping with sex toys, because of course
Putting Mark and Davinia’s powers of persuasion to test, we had stand behind a table full of sex toys and try to sell them to the audience. It took a while for the whole thing to kick off in between Davinia trying to stick a red dildo to the wall and Mark getting shocked by a black specimen, but they were quickly off to the races.
11. “It thrusts… in your vagina.”
‘Nuff said really.
12. We just needed one more thing to make it more awkward for Mark…
Or rather, person. Cue Valentina Rossi, who seemed to be a natural at selling dildos. At least, as far as DIY alternate uses go.
Like, you know, helping nanna with mixing her minestra.
13. We couldn’t let Markentina have all the fun though
Enter good old Nate to make matters just as embarrassing for Davinia. The Vibe FM DJ went straight to the shiny glass dildo, which was definitely a twist of fate, seeing as it was a double-sided toy meant for couples. We also finally got to know the truth about the two, and how it was actually Valentina who set them up.
Oh and hey, well done on being featured on Lovin Malta again Nate! We’re so proud of you.
