Telecinco era sees presenter exits, comebacks and on‑air disputes

María Casado announced her departure from Telecinco’s weekend news programme, citing the difficulty of balancing work between Málaga and Madrid and broader challenges faced by mothers in demanding media roles.

Former celebrity‑news reporter Karmele Marchante returned to Telecinco after a ten‑year hiatus, joining the new evening magazine "De lunes a viernes" alongside a mix of veteran and younger collaborators.

Ecuadorian presenter Alejandra Jaramillo left Univision’s show "¡Siéntese quien pueda!" following a social‑media uproar over her comments on Mexico’s World Cup loss. Journalist Gustavo Adolfo Infante later called for Mexican companies to bar her from employment, prompting a public exchange between the two.

Former reality‑TV contestant María José Galera, known for her early exit from "Gran Hermano", now works as a security guard in Seville, having left the television spotlight.

A dispute unfolded on the program "¡De viernes!" when Makoke defended relative Nacho Picatoste against Terelu Campos over conflicting statements about the alleged sale of María Teresa Campos’ Málaga house.

Canal Sur bid farewell to two long‑standing presenters, Mari Paz Oliver (after 37 years) and Ana Hinestrosa (after six years), highlighting their contributions to Andalusian public broadcasting.

The latest edition of "¡De viernes!" featured Amador Mohedano and other guests discussing Rocío Jurado’s memoirs and revisiting the Campos house controversy, linking past celebrity scandals to current programming.
