Asraf Beno has become one of the undisputed protagonists of the latest edition of Survivors. Although many of his classmates assure that Isa Pantoja’s future husband has a difficult personality and that he was not a good companion during the adventure, he managed to gain a place in the grand final of the contest.

After being spared numerous nominations and enduring criticism from the mainstream, Beno had a very good chance of winning the contest last week. While on social networks there was a duel to the death between this model of Moroccan origin and Adara Molinero for who would be the winner, Bosco Blach Martínez-Bordiú surprised everyone by winning.

Although many know the physical consequences that the experience has had for the former Big Brother VIP contestant, what very little they know is that Asraf Beno was going to participate in the survival reality show three years ago, but at that time he suffered a disease that left him prevented travel to the Cayos Cochinos.

Kiko Rivera’s brother-in-law did not pass the medical tests because at that time he suffered from a disease called Sarcoidosis, which affected his lungs. This condition is characterized by the growth of small clumps of inflammatory cells in the lungs and can affect other organs in the body.

Although he had some symptoms, Beno was not diagnosed until he had a chest X-ray and learned that he could not enter the Mediaset contest. The main problem with Sarcoidosis in the case of the son-in-law of the singer Isabel Pantoja is that if it was not treated at that moment, it could cause permanent scars in the lungs, which would lead to pulmonary hypertension and difficulty breathing. The doctors also explained that it could affect his vision.

”They saw that he had something strange in his lung, sarcoidosis. It is an inflammation of the lung ganglia. The doctor told me that this lung problem could blind me and cause me to die, but there are several stages and I was in stage 1, so it would most likely heal on its own,” the young model explained some time ago for Lecturas.

Anuar Beno’s brother already spoke about the subject during his visit to See You Again, a program that Carlos Sobera presented a few seasons ago on Mediaset, and explained to his girl and to all of Spain the ordeal he was suffering: “I know you have seen me strange It was because I was bad internally. I was sick for some health issues. They found an anomaly in my lungs. They told me it was something very bad. I’ve had a very bad time”.

Fortunately, the model shared with the audience that the bad had passed and that he had already recovered from the health problem: “I’m fine. Thank God I’m over it. It’s not as bad as they thought.”
