María Patiño has faced several setbacks at the professional level last year. The journalist said goodbye in June 2023 to Sálvame, the program that she presented and in which she collaborated for more than a decade. At the end of the same year, she also left her position as presenter of Socialité. Despite all this, the Galician has been using her social networks to continue unmasking well-known faces and providing current news about the world of the heart. Additionally, she has recently opened up about her addictions.
This Saturday, Patiño reappeared on television, and he did so on Catalan television, TV3, specifically in the program Col·lapse. The presenter opened up to Ricard Ustrell about one of the hardest stages of his life: the moment he suffered from bulimia. The former Sálvame collaborator also spoke about the importance of taking care of himself, of valuing moments of tranquility and the work addiction that he has suffered for many years. An interview in which she was honest like never before and wanted to show her most vulnerable side.
The television actress acknowledges that she “has stopped” and that she has been dedicating herself to herself for two months. It was then that the Catalan presenter asked her if the Telecinco show where she worked for so long had a “drug” touch. “I had a work addiction, but I have always had it. I have been very obsessive, I have been very afraid of depending on someone,” Patiño said then.
“In the end it is also true that all this has had its fruits, I am a privileged person in this business, to be honest. It is difficult for me to give interviews because deep down I am very shy,” acknowledged Patiño, who seemed very pleasant and eager to talk. answer the questions of the Catalan program. In fact, he received a surprise on set from her former partner, Laura Fa, with whom she also worked during her time in Sálvame.
It was a few months ago, when Patiño revealed in an interview with Lecturas that she had been diagnosed with work addiction. The presenter assured that she feels a “emptiness” with this new work situation that she has faced in recent months. “I asked for psychological help. It can’t be that she has everything and is down. She wasn’t crying, it was apathy,” the presenter explained about her feelings in those complicated moments. And her entire routine changed overnight when she left behind her television projects, something that she didn’t know how to manage at all well.
