MasterChef Celebrity 8 is being a success. The contest allows you to get to know some of the most recognized faces in our country better. The outdoor test always leaves some confessions coming from the contestants, since, when participating as a team, they have conversations with their colleagues that they would not normally have in interviews or other tests of the format. This is what happened with Álvaro Muñoz Escassi in the last program. The rider revealed to Toñi Moreno the serious accident that changed his life.
The conversation between the two began when the presenter remembered the time when the rider competed in his discipline. “What people don’t know is what it cost you to be a horse professional. People believe that you were posh and that’s why your father bought you a great horse and that you started flirting and jumping with the animal.” , the Catalan woman began by saying. It was then that Álvaro decided to open up about this issue, revealing previously unknown details about his professional career.
“I was posh, but history wasn’t like that. I didn’t finish school, and my father didn’t like that at all. And when I was 18 I went to Germany, which was the leading country in the world of horse riding. And “I went there to work in exchange for being allowed to ride a horse. And look, I cried a lot and had a hard time, but I never thought about going back,” the rider began by saying. Thus, Escassi revealed the great sacrifices he had to make in order to dedicate himself to his passion. Some sacrifices that even cost him a hospital stay.
This is how he explained it himself. The rider moved the program’s viewers after revealing the accident he suffered on horseback, for which he had to be taken by helicopter to the hospital. “One day in a competition I had an accident and they had to take me out of there by helicopter. And I woke up in the hospital intubated, with many broken bones and a major blow to the head,” he began by recounting one of the days that changed his life.
Despite everything, with the passage of time Álvaro has been able to take the positive side of the serious accident he suffered. “These are things that happen to you in life, which are hard, but once you have lived it, when you grow up, you are glad you lived them, because they make you harder,” he said. “They have made you be what you are,” added Toñi Moreno after listening to his partner, being fully aware that sometimes these types of situations mark the course of a person’s life. And so it was in the case of Escassi.
For her part, Toñi also opened up about some aspects that have changed her life. The Catalan woman remembered that “when I was 14 I started working because my mother told me, we don’t have enough money for books. In my town there was local TV and I started working.” “I don’t consider that I had a bad childhood, but it is true that I try to help my daughter extend her childhood because then there are many years that she will live as an adult and that she will have problems,” she reflected.
