Two prime ministers, taking both part in the SLA ice-cold bucket on camera jape.

Both Matteo Renzi and Joseph Muscat dutifully had a bucket of ice-cold water thrown on to them.

But then both nominated editors of national papers to get the same treatment as them.

The question is: who did it first and who copied whom?

Dr Muscat, nominated by Tarragon chef Marvin Gauci, in turn nominated Sunday Times editor Steve Mallia and MaltaToday editor Salvu Balzan.

Steve Mallia was later photographed on the steps of Castille having a bucket of ice-cold water thrown on him.
