Arantxa del Sol’s remarks about the conflict with Ángel Cristo and the survivors of the show led to numerous consequences. This Sunday, the host and the penultimate eliminated contestant disclosed that Bárbara Rey’s son stated that he had tried to influence his own marriage. According to his account, Ángel spoke to Miri and Blanca, who then relayed information about Ana Herminia’s alleged affair with Arantxa’s husband, Finito de Córdoba.
Additionally, Ana claimed that Herminia waited for a sign from her partner to continue spreading the story from the outside. Ana’s Friday appearance brought him onto the program, where she discussed a supposed relationship with the bullfighter that appears to have never existed, a friendship that spanned years.
Arantxa says she felt betrayed by Ángel and his partner for not warning her earlier. She had called her husband when it was announced that the host would join the reality show and that Bárbara Rey’s son would also be in this edition. At first, Arantxa defended Ángel during his confrontation with her, Kike Calleja, and Carmen Borrego.
The famous “colleja” of Arantxa del Sol
After leaving the island, Ángel Cristo continued discussing Arantxa during a gala: “This has nothing to do with this, but my values are honor, courage, loyalty. What are yours, Arantxa? Tell me what happened on the boat.” The exchange fueled the program, and the moment only became public on Sunday.
Arantxa explained: “I insulted him and used similar words he used, calling him crab and parasite. After gathering all the details, I spoke harshly and even slapped him in the face, saying, ‘that’s enough for you.’ I was furious about the lies he spread. The most painful part was what his wife said about her relationship with my husband, a truth that deeply affected me.”
When Sandra Barneda challenged the comment, the presenter defended herself by saying it was not a big deal and that she might have left the program much earlier. She added that the organization was aware of the happenings, though there were no cameras at that moment. The segment received high ratings. Angel was asked if she felt attacked and whether she wished to take any action, and she replied that she did not.
Arantxa del Sol’s veto
The matter did not end there. Mediaset España reportedly decided to take control and remove the presenter from the premieres after the boat incident surfaced. In a formal statement, the company noted that Arantxa del Sol’s remarks on the show were reviewed and, in line with the Code of Ethics, the former participant would not be featured on reality programs again.
Arantxa del Sol’s reaction
The presenter issued a brief response on her Instagram account, clarifying that she did not intend to escalate the situation. She posted that Telecinco’s board had pressured her to come forward with her version, which she felt compelled to share despite the strain it caused on her family. She described being cornered by the narrative and stated that she apologized for her actions but not for the words she used, emphasizing she was reacting to a situation she believed deserved honest discussion. She also expressed that she would seek the sources behind the claim to prevent further harm and thanked supporters for their understanding as the matter progressed.
