Lydia Lozano and former Sálvame staff dispute departures

Overview

In early August 2026, Lydia Lozano discussed her 14-year tenure on Telecinco’s tabloid programme Sálvame, which ran from 2009 to 2023. Speaking to Televisión Canaria, she explained she stayed to avoid giving colleagues the satisfaction of her exit, noting that leaving would have “put me in the spotlight” for a year. She described the show as filler for long afternoon slots and expressed gratitude for the professional nourishment it provided.

During a special segment titled “El álbum de mi vida” on the programme De lunes a viernes, Lozano reflected on her career with the guidance of a psychologist. She admitted to fearing at times that she would return to the set “worse than when I left.” The segment included a confrontation with Rosa Benito, who accused Lozano of staying for fame and claimed former Mediaset boss Paolo Vasile had asked her to return “on her knees.”

By mid-August, tensions among former Sálvame collaborators escalated. Kiko Hernández used his new YouTube program, ‘Directamente Kiko’, to criticize Terelu Campos and Rosa Benito. Concurrently, Lozano engaged in a heated verbal exchange with Campos on De lunes a viernes, accusing Telecinco of vetoing the Sálvame team and disputing Campos’s account of her departure by claiming the staff was forced out by the network rather than leaving voluntarily.
