Belén Esteban returns to Telecinco amid public disputes

Belén Esteban has returned to Telecinco following recent interviews on the program ‘¡De Viernes!’. Her return follows a period of speculation regarding her status at the network after leaving in 2023.

The return has coincided with renewed public tension between Esteban and Beatriz Trapote. During an appearance on ‘¡De Viernes!’, Trapote discussed the relationship between Andrea Janeiro and her father, Jesulín de Ubrique, while criticizing Esteban’s long-standing stance on family matters. Esteban responded publicly to these remarks, intensifying a long-running dispute involving the family of Jesulín de Ubrique.

Journalist Ana Rosa Quintana commented on Esteban’s return, stating she is pleased that Esteban is doing well. Quintana also addressed rumors of a potential ban on mentioning Esteban within the network, asserting that current programming discusses various personalities freely.
