Fede Vigevani debut as secret infiltrated contestant on La Casa de los Famosos México 2026
Uruguayan YouTuber Fede Vigevani, whose channel has over 75 million subscribers, joined the Mexican reality series La Casa de los Famosos México 2026. He entered the show not as a regular contestant but as the first “infiltrated” participant, tasked with carrying out secret missions sent by the public through a WhatsApp channel. His position does not rely on public voting; he remains in the house only if he completes the assignments successfully. The inaugural mission, chosen by audience vote, required him to hide a roll of toilet paper. During the gala on 26 July, host Galilea Montijo and the program’s executive (“La Jefa”) announced his role and also named him captain of the newly introduced Tulum themed room, alongside Ibiza and Malibú. Vigevani said the experiment is not about money but about gaining visibility on linear television, a platform he believes still reaches audiences beyond his online following. Born on 1 October 1994 in Montevideo, Uruguay, Vigevani began his YouTube career in 2014 with the group Dosogas, later moving to Mexico City in 2018 to pursue solo content focused on challenges, horror, and extreme stunts.
