Its collaborators and workers were totally devastated after learning of the decision of the Mediaset leadership to dispense with this program. But many of them took on new challenges, as is the case of Belén Esteban, who signed up for Netflix along with seven other iconic collaborators of the network to film Sálvese donde puede, a new reality show.

The businessman has spoken again through Radio Isla Cristina about the current situation of Telecinco and its audiences.

On the other hand, Toscano considers that Mediaset owes a lot to the television collaborator. “Belén has something very important. On television the look is very important and Belén was born with that innate ability to look at the camera like this and to express with her gaze, with her eyes. There is her television journey. Belén has given us many successes “The chain has to be grateful to those people who make them successful,” he said.
On the other hand, the manager assures that he believes that Belén will continue working even if she does not need it. “Belén has known how to earn money and keep it, despite how much Toño Sanchís stole from her. I think Belén no longer needs to work every day of her life, but she will continue working because she is a lady who likes her job and likes to work , do what you have been doing,” he expressed.
To finish, Baldomero opened up about how she is a television collaborator for those people she cares about and how she cared about him. “When I had a fairly serious illness, Belén called me to see how she was doing. She is attentive to her affections and her people,” she stated, ensuring that behind the television ‘beast’ you can meet A great person.
