The great moments of María Teresa Campos: from her insult to Vasile to the flowers of Arrocet

María Teresa Campos has died at the age of 82 in Madrid. She has been one of the historical presenters of the small Spanish screen.

The presenter began in the world of radio and continued on television, achieving great success. From her criticism of Paolo Vasile after her departure from Antena 3 to the romantic moment that she lived with Edmundo Arrocet in Qué tiempo tan feliz on Telecinco; María Teresa Campos has given us historic moments.

María Teresa Campos starred in a television moment on Cada día on Antena 3 after leaving Telecinco. The presenter addressed her former boss, Paolo Vasile, and called him an "asshole" after he downplayed her departure. It happened on September 27, 2004.

He did not say his name, but he made it clear who he was referring to: "Look, I'm going to tell you one thing: shut up now! Go to your land now and shut up now! You're here because they don't want you there. Go away and shut up , that you have lost seven points, seven points that you have lost. And we are still just beginning. We are very modestly, raising our heads little by little. But you, you have lost seven points. I am going to stand up... And This chain is going slowly, but it has gained at least four or five points. And you have lost six. Asshole!"

During the fifth anniversary of the Telecinco program ¡Qué tiempo tan feliz!, the comedian appeared by surprise to give a large bouquet of roses to María Teresa Campos. The journalist was very happy.

The couple, who later broke up, melted into an emotional hug and two courtesy kisses. María Teresa Campos fired him joking: "Don't go, I have very little program left." Amid laughter, the public began to chant the name of Mustache and María Teresa ended with a sentence: "Now I can say that what a happy time! He gets everything he wants."

Climbing on a moving truck, inside a transparent and constantly moving “fishbowl”, María Teresa Campos intended to do the interviews on her return to television in La Campos mobile. However, not everything was as she expected.

The La Campos Móvil truck, which intended to receive a host of familiar faces, stopped dead when only one episode had been enjoyed, with the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, as a guest. The lack of some permits prevented it from continuing.

María Teresa Campos was in charge of addressing the complaints and suggestions of the viewers of the program hosted by Jorge Javier Vázquez. The veteran presenter became the defender of the viewer in Sálvame.

"The defender has to be completely impartial when the audience speaks, but then she has to give those who have spoken well or badly the opportunity to answer. And above all, not confront the viewer, respect," assured María Teresa Campos.

Isabel Gemio, one of the most veteran presenters today, opened a YouTube channel and had María Teresa Campos, another of the great figures of Spanish television, as a guest.

The interview had a most peculiar tone, in which María Teresa Campos was able to dispatch at ease. It all started with a rather uncomfortable question from Gemio, in which she asked the television if she imagined being like this at 80 years old. "You are a pig. No one has said that on television," replied María Teresa Campos.

Las Campos was a docu-reality based on the life of María Teresa Campos and her daughters, the presenter Terelu Campos and Carmen Borrego. The format was produced by La Fábrica de la Tele and was broadcast occasionally on Telecinco between August 18, 201612 and September 12, 2018. The program followed all the exploits of the Campos Clan.

It was one of the most anticipated meetings on television: the first face to face of the two morning queens. For the first time, María Teresa Campos and Ana Rosa Quintana met on the same set, sitting face to face. It happened in the morning magazine of La Quintana.

And the dialectical battle was even better than expected. It all began with the introduction of Ana Rosa to her luxury guest. Each one in her chair, face to face and with a cordial smile. Each one with her truth and her burdens. With a great need to leave speculation behind and to give the confession that perhaps nobody expected.

They remembered old times, some slightly choking moments that they did not hesitate to resolve and the revelation that far from the rivalry both presenters DID get along.

"This interview is very morbid, why are we going to fool ourselves, because we have always been confronted," they said then. "Do you dislike me?" Quintana asked to break the ice. "That legend goes back to the times when we didn't even compete, I did the morning and you did the afternoon," Campos replied. "Man, you did hit me a few shivering," Quintana replied.

One of the funniest visits by María Teresa Campos occurred when she went to La Resistencia, David Broncano's program on Movistar Plus, back in January 2020. "I went to the Broncano program and he wanted to kill me," the presenter released. after scoring with a most suggestive dance with the comedian.
