Nebulossa and her act nicknamed “Zorra” captured the Benidorm Festival crown, earning them the right to represent Spain at Eurovision. Yet, according to segments aired on Socialité, the group appeared hesitant about participating in the contest itself. Their statements referenced sources from the Telecinco program, and the group members later clarified that Eurovision had never been part of their immediate plans while acknowledging the earlier assurances that changed the course of events.
The triumph at Benidorm Fest 2024 shifted the duo’s plans. They had intended to return home with their children and dogs on Sunday, but the victory altered those plans. Instead, they staged a press conference and a series of interviews in Benidorm, marking the first formal step in what organizers described as a long journey toward the Eurovision stage. They would face the single-entry competition with a calm outlook, believing audiences across Europe would respond positively. One member noted that the 80s era is resonating with people, a sentiment she felt would help the reception. Her partner stressed that music is a universal language and expressed confidence that Europeans would understand their message.
Angy and her illness
Nebulossa was declared the winner of Benidorm Fest 2024 with the song Zorra, achieving the highest score from both the jury and the television audience. RTVE announced on Sunday that the duo won by a narrow two-point margin over the runner-up.
In recent performances, Angy Fernández was photographed on stage, with coverage from RTVE highlighting her appearance. The duo, hailing from Alicante, collected 4,484 audience points from a total of 25,019 calls and SMS submissions, narrowly surpassing Jorge González who earned 4,482 and Angy Fernández who had 3,888. In the demoscopic round, Jorge González tallied 2,855 points, Angy Fernández 2,833, Nebulossa 2,463, St. Pedro 2,291, María Peláe 2,272, Sofia Coll 2,134, Almácor 2,058, and Miss Caffeina 1,994.
After a pause on stage, Angy returned to perform again, sharing openly about anxiety and seeking to make the moment public. She admitted that seeing the gallery and moments of calmer emotion were immediately followed by a wave of anxiety.
The artist later disclosed a recent hospital visit prompted by severe abdominal pain. A moment on social media showed her describing a night in the hospital where medical staff needed to determine whether the issue was appendicitis or gas. The initial worry appeared to hinge on a potential appendicitis diagnosis, prompting overnight observation to uncover the root cause of her symptoms.
Subsequent test results revealed that Angy is dealing with Crohn’s disease, a chronic autoimmune condition that causes intestinal inflammation. She also mentioned through stories that celiac disease could elevate the likelihood of such digestive issues. She noted clinicians had suggested antibiotics to curb infection and protect her health during treatment.
What is Crohn’s disease?
Crohn’s disease is a long-term inflammatory condition of the digestive tract. It can affect any portion of the canal from mouth to anus, though it most commonly targets the small intestine and the early sections of the large intestine.
What are the symptoms of Crohn’s disease?
Symptoms vary depending on the location and the severity of the inflammation. Common presentations include:
- Diarrhea
- Cramps and abdominal pain
- Weight loss
Additional signs patients may notice include:
- Anemia, a lower than normal red blood cell count
- Redness or eye pain
- Fatigue
- Fever
- Joint pain or tenderness
- Nausea or loss of appetite
- Skin changes such as red, tender bumps under the skin
These are general indicators and can vary. Anyone who experiences persistent digestive symptoms should seek medical advice promptly to determine the cause and explore treatment options.
