Carlos Sobera is one of Telecinco’s star presenters. His participation in programs such as Survivors or Big Brother have earned him a position among the most recognized hosts of the network. But far from focusing only on the world of television, he also tried his hand at writing in 2001. Something that he has returned to now with the publication of his memoirs.
“This book serves to tell my dream, but it also wants to be an encouragement for all those who consider achieving something in their lives,” said the Basque at the presentation of A Contracorriente. And, as it could not be otherwise, in this publication he has not hesitated to talk about his wife and the hard time they have gone through these years.
As a promotion, the presenter did not hesitate to offer an interview for Lecturas magazine in which he gave more details about this book and about the difficult period that Patricia Santamarina has gone through. Sobera’s wife suffered a serious stroke in February 2019.
For him, one of the worst moments of that time were “those 24/48 hours, in which there was total uncertainty about his state of health.” A period of time in which it was not known if it was going to get better or worse. “I had a terrible time, thinking that he could die,” he confessed.
A concern that diminished when they knew he would survive. “Then that problem disappeared and the happiness was absolute, but those are moments when you have a very bad time,” he added in the aforementioned medium. But if there is something that was difficult for him to do, it is to appear happy on the outside when on the inside he was “very upset.”
Some problems that did not take long to return just after Patricia Santamarina returned home. That same night she began to suffer “tremendous headaches” that caused her to be hospitalized again for another week. “When we went back to the hospital, she walked like a 110-year-old woman, it was very difficult for her to move and I was very scared,” she said.
And it is not surprising that Carlos Sobera had this concern, taking into account the love he feels for his wife. So much so, that he claims that as soon as he saw her he thought she was the love of her life. “I think it was an incredible crush that we both had from the first day we saw each other,” he said. A feeling that was “intensifying.”
After this, the journalist asks him about the sacrifices that Patricia has made for him during his life. Something about which Sobera has been very clear: “It is that above her work and above mine, there is a company that is more important, which is our family, with everything that this entails.”
