This Thursday, June 29, ‘Survivientes 2023’ comes to an end. The Telecinco reality show will put the finishing touch to its longest edition with the notable absence of its star presenter: Jorge Javier Vázquez. The Catalan is still on medical leave, so he will not be in the grand finale of the contest, just as it happened with the goodbye of ‘Sálvame’. The one who won’t be there is Alejandro Nieto, last year’s winner.
The television company has announced that it will not be on set to comply with the tradition of delivering the check to the new winner. A prize of 200,000 euros that could go to Adara, Asraf, Bosco or Jonan. Through various stories on Instagram, Alejandro Nieto categorically states that “I’m not going to go.” “An agreement has not been reached and I am not going to go,” he adds. Likewise, he does not hesitate to wish everyone “may the best man win.” “I am traveling with my family, with my son and that has not been the case,” she ends up expressing.
It’s not the first time
Although the absence of Alejandro Nieto in the grand final is striking, it is not the first time this has happened. And it is that ‘Survivors’ will experience this event for the second consecutive year. It should be remembered that Olga Moreno (who won in 2021) did not attend the final date either and did not deliver the check to her successor. At that time, the ex of Antonio David Flores declined the invitation so as not to meet face to face with Jorge Javier Vázquez. In ‘Survivientes 2022’, Lara Álvarez was in charge of doing the honors, so this Thursday Laura Madrueño could do the same.
Jorge Javier Vázquez, on leave
The presenter of ‘Survivientes’ has been away from television since May 17, the date on which Mediaset España announced his discharge due to a medical prescription. “The body and mind send you signals and throughout my life I have paid little attention to them. Until today. I need to stop to take care of myself. To ask me what I want, ”Jorge Javier Vázquez wrote in his last message on social networks. “See you forever. As long as I can. Until it arises. And above all, thank you. Thank you. It was worth it,” she added.
