In an intense day at the ‘Operación Triunfo’ Academy, the contestants were immersed in a whirlwind of emotions when the official account of the program announced the unexpected visit of Alejandro Sanz.
“Today lunchtime only means one thing… THERE ARE 45 MINUTES LEFT FOR ALEJANDRO SANZ TO ENTER THE DOOR. I’m not screaming, you’re screaming,” the official account of the musical talent show published on Twitter, unleashing great expectation among the participants and followers.
The confirmation of the visit by Alejandro Sanz himself, who responded through social networks that they would see each other in “10 minutes”, raised the anticipation even further. The contestants, visibly nervous, prepared to receive the iconic singer.
However, when the clock struck the expected moment, a surprise awaited on the screen: a video with scares that made everyone jump off the couch, concluding with a resounding “innocent, innocent.”
Through social networks, the program apologized to the 80,000 live viewers, highlighting the well-crafted narrative of the joke. Noemí Galera, the director of the program, revealed that Alejandro Sanz continued the joke and expressed his desire to visit them in the future.
“Actually I haven’t arrived on time because @NoemiGaleraN gave me the wrong address. Jokes aside: I owe you one to the OT family, you are great,” responded the singer, adding to the festive spirit of the Holy Innocents’ Day. Both the contestants and the audience of ‘Operación Triunfo’ were left with a “broken heart.”
This episode revives the tradition of jokes in Operación Triunfo, remembering the first edition in 2001, where iconic names such as David Bisbal, Chenoa, Rosa López or David Bustamante participated. Social networks have revived that occasion, when they were sent peculiar songs and revealed the farce after their first rehearsal.
The community of followers now unites in laughter and complicity, celebrating the creativity of Alejandro Sanz and the OT team on this unforgettable day of the Holy Innocents’ Day.
