I’ve been maturing it and after the whole war in Ukraine and various elections, I considered it was time,” he said through social networks. of Telecinco News. “I’m going to miss them all a lot, because my life has been television. I’ve been embedded in the screen since 1988 and I’m a little scared that next Monday is going to happen without an agenda,” he said.
