Antonio Hidalgo is returning to Telecinco more than twenty years after his early days co-hosting the magazine Taste with Ana Rosa Quintana. This time, the presenter won’t reclaim his usual on-air role; instead, he comes back as a collaborator, stepping back into the channel in a fresh capacity. The news broke this afternoon, signaling that Hidalgo will join the network’s collaborative team. He is slated to have his own section devoted to viral videos, leveraging his experience to curate popular clips for the audience.
When Hidalgo first rose to prominence as a co-host of Sabor a ti, his star seemed to rise in tandem with a string of ventures. Over the years, however, his career has unfolded along a path of collaborations and appearances on various programs, with mixed results. The most recently documented project linked to him dates back to 2020, and at that time he was associated with La 7, a regional broadcaster based in Murcia.
In truth, Hidalgo’s latest professional chapter unfolds within the same network landscape that has hosted him before. Across the past fifteen years, he has appeared in multiple productions across different formats, sometimes moving between TV studios and regional outlets. Now, his return places him once again in the media spotlight, this time as a member of a Fiesta-focused collaboration tied to Telecinco. The project appears to be a collaborative effort, produced by Unicorn—the same production house linked to Ana Rosa Quintana’s programs—marking a notable reunion of talent and production teams in a new format. The arrangement seems designed to capitalize on Hidalgo’s familiarity with audience trends and his capacity to connect viewers to viral content.
