Telecinco "rescues" Belén Esteban to revive the audiences of 'Así es la vida'

Summer is not doing too well for Telecinco. The Mediaset group channel has been affected by a triple effect of factors that have led its audiences to plummet. The first of them, the closing of Sálvame, still gives something to talk about on the walls of Fuencarral. The second, the pronounced decrease in television consumption in the summer months, which does not help to maintain the figures. And third, the little success that the premieres of Mía es la venganza and Así es la vida have had.

Precisely the program presented by Sandra Barneda, one of the most monitored spaces after the preceding circumstances, has resorted to an indelible name from the classic afternoon show to regain the attention of the viewers.

For the first time after the closure of Sálvame, the name of Belén Esteban has sounded again on Telecinco. And she has not done it precisely because the veteran collaborator was a special guest, but because of the difficult times she is going through.

That's life has echoed a story originally revealed on the Fiesta program: a supposed marital crisis that would affect Belén Esteban and Miguel Marcos. Despite the rumors on the air, Suso Álvarez was in charge of denying them on the air, from the mouth of Belén, this past Monday.

"She has strongly confirmed to me that there is no crisis between her and Miguel, it hurt me to see her sad because her mother Carmen sees us and may think that it is true, I would like to tell her to be calm," she said during her speech.

The former Big Brother 16 contestant reaffirmed his words referring to Marcos' lifestyle. "I know him, him and his group and he is super healthy, they are all married and none of them go like that," he said. Her partner Antonio Sánchez Casado also joined her circle to deny the information, but Ángela Portero did not seem so convinced by the statements, surprising that Belén traveled to the Canary Islands on Miguel's birthday and did not congratulate him publicly.

"Yes, there are things that surprise me and I also know that there have been agencies behind this issue for a long time," added the journalist. And it is that they are not exactly the quietest days of Belén Esteban. Beyond the alleged marital problems that she may have, the veteran collaborator opened up about her mental health and feelings in an interview on Superlatives, Carlota Corredera's podcast. Esteban confessed to visiting a psychologist after the closure of Sálvame.

“I am not going to hide it, I am going to a psychologist to help me with my emotions. I am a very emotional aunt, I am diabetic and this month I have had a very bad time. So I want to rest a bit, ”she told Corredera's microphone.

She also had the opportunity to tell how she lived from within the last days of the program that made her known: “Save me has been the program of my life and I think it will be very difficult to find a similar program. But I have a peace of mind since June 23... because the last month I had a very bad time.
