Jesulín de Ubrique is in a very good moment, both professionally and personally. Last year, the bullfighter welcomed his third child with María José Campanario, Hugo, and he could not be more proud of the family they have both formed. Professionally, he hasn't done too badly in recent months either, since he is the star contestant of the eighth edition of MasterChef Celebrity, a contest that he probably would not have attended without Toñi Moreno's insistence. Precisely with the presenter he starred in a confrontation in the first stages of the contest.
Jesulín's signing for the culinary program is a great opportunity for him, since viewers will be able to get to know better one of the most prominent faces in the world of social reporting. In a recent interview with Semana, Jesús opened up about everything this program has meant in his life. A new challenge at a professional level that he has faced with great enthusiasm and optimism. "I have enjoyed it, I have had a good time and I have also had my disputes. I am a very competitive person, very direct and nothing has been left out," he expresses about his time in the contest.
But not everything has been happy memories, since there have also been hard moments, of not knowing how to act. "I think the most difficult thing for me in this competition was managing time with the dish. I spent a lot of time thinking about what I could do or how I could cook it. For me it was very overwhelming. Another thing was that you never knew why. where the program was going to appear, that intrigue generated a lot of stress for me," he explained to the aforementioned medium, revealing what was the most difficult thing for him.
Another of the hardest factors of recording the program was moving away from his family. "I knew when she was going to come in, but no one knew when it was time for us to leave and how far we were going to go," she said about her time away from home. About missing his children, he revealed that "the youngest turned one while he was on the recordings," although he acknowledges that "everything has been worth it." In addition, he also recognizes that he has opened up and shown himself as he is. "When I want to say something, I say it. And when I have to swallow it, I swallow it. I have immersed myself in the mud until the end," he says.
During his talk with Semana, the bullfighter also revealed how the opportunity to attend the program arose and also pointed to a culprit: Toñi Moreno. "I never imagined myself on a program like Masterchef. I wouldn't see myself at all. And do you know who proposed it to me? Toñi Moreno. I thought she was being funny and she answered me: 'But you're not an actor either and you've recorded Torrente.' And I tell him: 'Well, look, it's true.' In the end it's a program in which you also have to have fun and have a good time," reveals Jesulín.
Some statements that have surprised many, since both were involved in one of the most notable fights so far in the contest. Jesulín de Ubrique reproached Daniel Illescas for not having chosen him and he did not hesitate to apologize while he did not stop crying. A situation that Toñi Moreno saw as unnecessary and he wanted to stop and give his opinion on the matter. So much so that sparks flew between them when the journalist ordered the right-hander to shut up, very "accustomed to commanding", she even let him go at one point.
On the other hand, Belén Esteban's ex assures that he perfectly remembers the moment when they confirmed that he would be a MasterChef contestant. "In mid-February, they sent me a message and said: 'You have been selected for 'MasterChef Celebrity'. The first thing I did was call Toñi to tell her because I couldn't believe it and the motherfucker told me that she They had also taken her," he said. Regarding how she prepared for the contest, she reveals that "I went to work at a friend's restaurant for a while. We will have to wait to find out how the Jesulín contest evolves.
