Sonsoles Ónega confesses the aesthetic retouching that put him in trouble live: “I was incapable”

Joaquín, the Rookie returned this Thursday to Antena 3 Television with a house guest, Sonsoles Ónega, the also brand new winner of the 2023 Planeta Prize for her novel Las hijas de la criada. During the talk, the journalist talked about her new partner, her children and her father, and the bad moments on television.

Although there was an anecdote that unleashed the footballer's laughter. This had to do with an aesthetic touch-up that the presenter had and that put her in such a bind during a live show that she couldn't help but start laughing. "He was incapable," said Ónega, who shortly before had pointed out where on the face the aforementioned arrangement had been made.

"I had done a little touch-up, a very small, very small touch-up," Sonsoles Ónega began explaining, openly, while pointing to his face. Then, he wanted to know if Joaquín had also made an arrangement, to which the former soccer player did not hesitate to answer.

"What I tried once was to remove the dark circles under my eyes that are very marked, but it went away in time," he replied. The presenter even asked her to raise her eyebrows, a way to know if she had Botox to avoid wrinkles. And, as could be seen, Joaquín has absolutely nothing on his forehead.

Ónega continued with the anecdote, stating that he did "a stupid thing, something I had never worn before," and pointed out where he did it. In this case, in the expression lines that go from the sides of the nose towards the mouth.

"So, this takes effect and then it paralyzes your mouth a little, and I had to say 'program' and I couldn't say it well," he continued, making Joaquín laugh. The situation became surreal when Ónega realized that he had said "program" wrong.

"I had such a fit of laughter..." she said, but she couldn't tell the collaborators, who looked at her without understanding anything, that she had had a cosmetic touch-up done on her mouth. "It was terrifying, but it's in my head," she said. Although she also stressed the importance of transmitting all emotions through the screen. "The viewer is a sponge that absorbs everything," she confessed.
