Speculation regarding Spanish media personality Belén Esteban has centered on both her professional future and past conflicts within the Telecinco network.

Initial reports addressed rumors of Esteban’s potential return to Mediaset and the Telecinco channel. Despite social media speculation regarding high-value contracts for programs such as ‘De viernes’ or ‘GH VIP’, there were no official offers or active negotiations from management, despite Esteban expressing interest.

Later, during the filming of ‘Supervivientes All Stars’ in Honduras, professional tensions resurfaced. Beatriz Trapote accused Esteban of being responsible for her departure from Telecinco roughly 20 years ago. This claim was contested by host Jorge Javier Vázquez, who suggested Trapote may have distanced herself from the network to avoid conflict with María José Campanario.
