WATCH: Chucky And Ira Losco Drive Around Malta Doing 12 Good Deeds For Christmas

Article Featured Image

It’s been a long and eventful 12 episodes for Lovin Live’s debut year, and last night saw the show end 2017 in style with a Christmas Special co-hosted by none other than Ira Losco!

It all started innocently enough with Chucky being his usual shady self to our driver. When an impeding lawsuit threatened to ruin this year’s holiday festivities, the Lovin Live host knew he had to embark on a quest to make Christmas great again.

Enlisting the help of Malta’s biggest superstar, Chucky and Ira went round ticking off a list of good deeds – 12, actually – to help make their way back into Santa’s good books. Here’s what they had to… and what they actually ended up doing.

12. Stranger Selfies

Hitting the streets of Sliema, Chucky and Ira had to take 12 selfies with complete strangers. 

Of course, it wasn’t too difficult to convince passers-by to take a photo with the one and only Ira fucking Losco… and Chucky, of course.

11. Pastizzi

Who doesn’t love pastizzi? Well, definitely not Chucky and Ira!

The pair had to buy 11 whole pastizzi… and Chucky could barely contain his excitement as Ira got back in the car with a delicious fresh batch of goodness.

10. Christmas Crackers

Chucky not only got to tick another item off his list; he also fulfilled his lifelong dream of asking Ira Losco to go in the backseat with him.

What followed were 10 popped crackers, leading to exclusives on Ira Losco’s new album, and some of the best worst Christmas cracker jokes and puns. One of them was so bad, it made Ira Losco literally eat the piece of paper it was written on.

9. People Laughing

Back in Sliema, Ira and Chucky’s attempts to make nine strangers laugh was very successful. 

Maybe it was Chucky’s hilarious antics or the fact that Ira Losco was just casually walking up to them, but whatever it was, it sure worked.

8. Happy Memories

This was less of a challenge and more of an opportunity for us to look back at some of the sweetest, weirdest and most hilarious moments from Lovin Live.

All the way back to Joseph Calleja covering Despacito, and featuring everything from Oz and Jay failing at Twister to Min Imissu‘s Julian Calleja impersonating Chucky.

7. Maltese Wonders

What started off as a quick mental image of all the great Maltese wonders (from Serkin to the ugliest flats in Malta) ended up with the sad re-realisation that the Azure Window (or is it the Asian Window, Ira?!) is no more.

6.  …ish

With the recent Maltese wonders revelation, the pair quickly realised that it’s actually six. 

Cue Chucky throwing in an impromptu prayer to Santa Claus to “just let us have this one.”

5. People Helped

Chucky and Ira’s next challenge was to help five people they came across in the car. 

It might’ve been a bit tough at first to find someone who needed (read: wanted) a lift to Sliema, they did end up helping a woman whose car had stopped on the side of the road. The opportunity was perfect, and it definitely helped tick off the rest of the good deeds… for the rest of the year.

They did also manage to find one person who accepted their offer for a lift though, so that was a great bonus.

4. Happy Children

How do you make children and parents alike happy? Free chocolate, of course!

Ferrero Rocher came to the rescue, with Chucky and Ira handing out chocolates to children, parents… and one particular non-child, non-parent handsome stranger.

3. Lovin Phone Calls

In true Christmas spirit, it was time to make amends for any discomfort which Lovin Live might’ve caused some people.

Chucky’s plan was to call up Mark ta’ Xarabank, Pawla ta’ Liquorish and Claudia Faniello to apologise for any inconvenience or embarrassment which he might’ve caused them during previous Lovin Live episodes, and while the first two did actually pick up, he wasn’t as lucky with Claudia. 

Thankfully, Ben Camille was trying to call him at the exact same time, so Chucky and Ira managed to get their third Lovin phone call done and dusted.

2. Puppies Hugged

Chucky and Ira came across some of the most adorable puppies around, and while hugging them was not really a challenge, it was definitely Chucky’s favourite item on the list. 

Just look at those cuties!

1. Celebrity Christmas Medley

Because that’s how every Christmas Special should end. 

Featuring everyone from Tiffany Pisani to Carina Camilleri, to the awesome people over at V Squared to yours truly at Lovin Malta (and Chucky and Ira, of course), we all lip synced to Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas… because, let’s face it, what other song could we have possibly chosen?!
