The Mexican is one of the star signings in the new edition of The Challengethe program produced by ‘7 y Acción’ that subjects its participants to extreme challenges. This Thursday, he promoted the premiere with two of his colleagues, Manuel Díaz El Cordobés and Roberto Brasero, in The Anthill in what was his first television interview since the scandal of his friendship with Frederick of Denmark. Pablo Motos has dropped several hints without getting into the mud: “I know you don’t want to talk about the paparazzi and that you’ve had a very bad time…”.
And it was precisely in the middle of the media whirlwind when Genoveva Casanova She signed up for the program, where she went incognito dressed in black, with a cap and glasses: “I was hidden,” she recalled with a laugh. The ex of Cayetano Martínez de Irujo has revealed that her time on the program has been a before and after in her life and that she has been very close to Victoria Federicathe other star of the edition: “I have a soft spot for Vic because I saw her grow up, she is a friend of my children, she is like my little girl and there were moments when I had a very bad time.”
It hasn’t been easy for her either. In fact, she has not been able to perform one of the most important tests in the program, apnea, because she has not yet fully recovered from the pulmonary infarction she suffered in the summer of 2023 and which also affected her heart. Very excited, she remembered what those weeks were like: “I was seriously ill in the hospital for a week and a half, but I was resting for months. It took me a long time to walk again and also to recover psychologically from the idea that I was half an hour away from leaving.”he said with a broken voice. “It changed my life. The perspective of things changes. What matters is the people who love you and the love that you give to others,” he said. “I was not aware of the seriousness until the doctor told me, because there were complications and they had to give me heparin. I still take it”he has confessed. “I came out of rehearsals covered in bruises.” Due to these consequences, Genoveva injured her shoulder and also her abdomen: “Everything was very weakened.”
Despite all this, Genoveva has really enjoyed the experience and assures that she has formed a small family with all her classmates, whom she encouraged like a good Mexican: “We had parties and when it seemed that no one was having a good time, she took out bottles of tequila that I had in the dressing room and I ended up giving everyone a hard time… The party went very well, we ended up dancing on the bar,” he revealed.
