Robert Abela fancies Roberta Metsola, according to sources at the Office of the Prime Minister.
Abela has refused to congratulate Metsola on becoming the EU’s vice prefect.
“In public he’s like ‘Eugh Roberta Metsola is so gross. She has cooties and is a massive nerd.’ But in private it’s so obvious he has a big crush on her,” the source told Bis-Serjetà.
The source said OPM staff had overheard the Prime Minister singing ‘Robert and Roberta sitting in a tree, K I S S I N G’ to himself when he thought no one was around.
“We also found the words ‘Robert A. + Roberta’ inside a heart carved into one of the trees in the courtyard at Castille. But tomorrow he’ll probably come out and say she’s ugly.”
Meanwhile, during a press conference this afternoon, Abela turned a bright shade of red and punched Maltatoday journalist Karl Azzopardi in the ribs when the latter asked him if he wanted a golden passport to Metsola’s heart.
