Television personality Nirvana Azzopardi has lost her battle against cancer.
The mother of two passed away peacefully at home. She was 40.
She had been diagnosed with a rare type of cancer two years ago, spreading through her lymph nodes and attacking her liver and eventually bone.
She had also filed a judicial protest against her private consultant on grounds that she had been misdiagnosed.
In 2007, shortly after her return to Malta from Australia, sister newspaper Illum had carried out an interview with Nirvana. Click here to read the interview.
