María Casado steps back from Telecinco weekend news for personal reasons

Spanish journalist María Casado announced she will temporarily leave the weekend edition of Informativos Telecinco, citing personal reasons and the difficulty of balancing her life between Málaga and Madrid. She described the departure as a short "break" and expressed hope to return to a new project within Mediaset when her situation stabilises.

Casado thanked the network, calling Mediaset her "home" and the staff her "family," and highlighted her two‑year tenure as a period of intense work. She will continue her role as president of the Academia de Televisión y de las Ciencias y Artes del Audiovisual de España and maintain other professional commitments.

The channel responded on social media, wishing her rest and reiterating that the doors remain open for a possible future return.
