Isabel Gemio reveals how bad she sometimes had when presenting the mythical program 'Sorpresa, Surprise': "I thought I could do it with me"

Isabel Gemio is one of the great presenters of our country. The 62-year-old journalist can boast of having a wide and magnificent career on the small screen and on the radio.

His great moment on television and that which gave him the most popularity was presenting the mythical Antena 3 program, Surprise, Surprise between 1996 and 1999, when he left the format. A television space in which they gave spectacular and emotional surprises to each of their guests.

For this reason, this afternoon we were able to see her on the antenna program 3 Y ahora Sonsoles, in which Sonsoles Ónega was able to chat for a while with the journalist. Isabel Gemio entered the set making it clear that she had not had surgery on her face and that she had no intention of doing so.

One of the most commented topics in the interview has been his time on the Surprise, Surprise program. "We gave surprises, it was one of the programs to which I am most grateful," declared the presenter. But Gemio was very clear and confessed that it was very hard for her. ''It was a very difficult challenge for me. I thought it wasn't good enough to make a program as big as that one,'' she assured.

The journalist also said that she never dared to tell her boss that she couldn't. ''I said I think I'm not going to be able to, in fact that's why I went so badly the first day. I believed that it could with me. It was a very big program,'' she commented. And it's Gemio came out in the first broadcast with a hundred and a half beats and also revealed that she did a New Year's Eve gala with a fever. ''I ended up crying because I thought I wasn't going to do it, but I did it professionally,'' she recounted.

The journalist set out to carry out her program and thanks to it she was able to grow professionally. ''I only have reasons to be grateful,'' she confessed. ''I am a more insecure person than it seems. I have created a shell for myself because I am a very vulnerable, very sensitive person and the world is not made for sensitive people, much less in this profession,'' she asserted. Isabel Gemio commented that she did not know how she had done it, but she has always tried to give her best. ''Whatever you do in life, it's not the job that matters but how you do it,'' she explained.

The journalist also commented that she was not made for this new television in which everything has to be immediate. '' I do miss the radio,'' she said. ''Radio allows you to talk about issues calmly and is very personal. Television depends on the whole team,'' she declared.
