Belén Esteban has gone through all kinds of situations on the small screen in our country, but what happened on April 25, 2022 will remain forever in her memory as one of the darkest days of her life.
In an attempt to innovate and create new spaces and activities with which to entertain the audience, the management of Sálvame decided to carry out some of the tests that can be seen in Survivors and discover which collaborators of the program would perform better in the Cayos Cochinos.
One of the first tests consisted of simply holding on to a bar and holding out as long as possible while it moved. The first and last to attempt this feat were Belén Esteban and Lydia Lozano, who did not hesitate and launched into the adventure.
Just four seconds after starting the activity, JesulÃn de Ubrique’s ex-arms slipped and she fell to the ground on her own heels, so her right leg bent, causing great damage and incredible pain.
Belén Esteban was treated by the Mediaset doctors, who decided to transfer her immediately to a hospital. Once there, the medical professionals told him that her spectacular fall had broken her tibia and her fibula.
As a consequence of such a serious injury, the one from Paracuellos had to be intervened with 20 nails and two 4.5-centimeter plates to weld the bone well. In addition, the Mediaset collaborator received a total of 55 points, which caused her a lot of pain. From this moment on, Esteban began a long and hard rehabilitation process that made him leave his job for months and caused him great sadness and loss of spirit.
After sending an emotional message live from her program to her family, friends and partner on the anniversary of the injury to thank them for their company and patience, Belén Esteban has uploaded a publication to her official Instagram account showing how her leg is in the present.
In the different photos that make up the carousel that he has uploaded, you can see several X-rays that show the ‘tools’ that Esteban still has inside his body. In addition, Andrea Janeiro’s mother has published a beautiful text to thank her family, friends and followers, those who were always there during some of the darkest months of her life: “I just want to thank. I know they love me very much and really. Thank you”.
