60-second Interview - Angèle Galea

Malta Independent Sunday, 7 May 2006, 00:00 Last update: about 13 years ago

Having gotten married just nine months ago, it has been a rollercoaster ride for Angèle Galea who has had to cope with learning how to cook and manage a house, while also being one of the primary cast of the sitcom L-Erbgha l’Huma, and continuing her studies to become a piano performer. Naturally something has to give, and since she has never been one to harbour any culinary ambitions, this is usually the cooking!

Angèle resides in her hometown of Zebbug where she enjoys spending time with her family and laughing at the numerous stories that her husband Malcolm comes up with. She has just finished doing up her art studio and is now planning to exhibit her most recent works later on this year. She is fascinated by glamorous pictures on glossy magazines and uses every excuse to buy at least two a week.

The hilarious sitcom L-Erbgha l'Huma brings a refreshing change to local drama programmes. It airs every Monday night at 8.30pm on Super One TV, with a repetition on Sundays at noon. More information can be found at www.4huma.com.
