This cancellation saga continues to draw reactions even though three weeks have passed since the news broke. Since then, the show’s presenters and collaborators have attempted to ride the wave, turning the situation into a build‑up event aimed at reclaiming viewer attention in the final weeks of the season.
Now one of the program’s most recognizable figures, who quietly stepped away after a long period of tension, has spoken out for the first time about the end of the series and the closing chapter.
Anabel Pantoja began as a spokesperson for her family but soon became a regular collaborator on her own. The show itself has long pushed boundaries, and in recent times used the moment to highlight its dynamics before Anabel ultimately exited the program for good.
Kiko Rivera’s cousin understood how to leverage television exposure. As a current high‑profile personality, she has built a strong presence on social media, attracting attention from brands and fans alike.
<pThis weekend Anabel is among the stars at Desalia, the summer’s premier music experience that features top influencers and artists. Topics and personalities like Dulceida, Gersán, Lalachus, and Arnau Marín are on the lineup, drawing substantial crowds and media interest.
At the festival, Anabel discussed the cancellation of the series and the future on a platform associated with the event. She said, “I am not happy with what happened, clearly. There are people I care about there.” Yet she emphasized a positive outlook for her post‑show life: “I value the beautiful years I spent there. I made many friends, and I had wonderful experiences, but that chapter is closed.”
Is Anabel Pantoja’s future tied to Telecinco or Antena 3?
Looking ahead, Anabel did not rule out returning to television. “I’m not going to close the door, but I want to think through what I want to do next. Whatever comes, I’ll stay calm and open to possibilities,” she said.
Isabel Pantoja’s niece recently took the lead on a Canarian TV program after stepping back from Sálvame. It’s a small format that showcases the Canary Islands’ beauty and local life. She remarked, “I am very happy with the result. It’s a project that lets us explore the most beautiful corners of the Canaries. It’s an idea that has existed for years and is finally alive.”
Regarding a potential return to Telecinco in a future afternoon slot, perhaps on a program led by Ana Rosa Quintana, she replied, “I hadn’t considered that path yet.”
As for a format she would love to join, she was unequivocal: “I would enjoy competing on a show that uses my familiar face. I haven’t been offered anything yet while I’m in a transition, but I’m drawn to this kind of program. It would be very cool.”
