Adela González became one of the friendliest faces on television after signing on for Sálvame and experiencing her last happy moments with the team of the program dedicated to the tabloid press.
When the new leadership of Mediaset España confirmed that it was canceling the space of the heart after 14 years of success and leadership in the Telecinco afternoons, the different workers and collaborators of the program had to reinvent themselves and move forward. In the case of González, the communicator found a great opportunity in La Sexta to present a program with Boris Izaguirre: Better Saturday.
Although this new stage at Atresmedia is not giving her as much media popularity, the communicator from the Basque Country is very happy to be working and to have found a space in such a short time since her dismissal from Mediaset.
It must be recognized that González won the hearts of millions of viewers in the program presented by Jorge Javier Vázquez when he talked about his personal life, how he dealt with the death of his eight-year-old daughter due to cancer and how he handled the long distance relationship with her husband. A few days ago, Adela visited the Basque television program Akelarre, a space in which she opened up and showed other facets to the audience.
The presenter confessed in the ETB format that she suffers from amaxophobia, a disorder popularly known as 'fear of driving'. Millions of people around the world feel anxiety and even have panic attacks when it comes to getting behind the wheel, although some may suffer from such episodes just thinking about having to get in the car.
In the case of González, it doesn't matter if the communicator has a driving license, since she gets very nervous and has a really bad time: ''I have an atrocious fear of driving (...) I got my driving license with 18 years and the first time, everything was phenomenal.''
González was honest and remembered the day when his fear of driving began: ''I took the car, without any fear, to go with my family I don't know where. And in one of these when I was going to put myself in another lane, I forgot to look in the mirror. And, peep, I got a whistle. Nothing happened to me and nothing happened to anyone..., but then I became afraid..., not of what could happen to me, but of what I could do to other people. And it scared me terribly. I'm panicking. It's a trauma."
The presenter's story has generated countless comments on social networks, spaces in which many people have confessed to having the same problem: ''I can totally identify with it. The bad thing is that it is a phobia that people don't understand and is the object of ridicule.'' ''I suffer from it. And I'm sick and tired of hearing what it means to want it. It's a phobia," "I haven't gotten my driving license because any possible scenario makes me panic," etc.
