Genoveva Casanova returns to television after the scandal: she signs for ‘The Challenge’ on Antena 3

After knowing the signing of Victoria Federica for The challenge (Antena 3), who was going to tell us that Felipe VI’s niece was not going to be the star contestant of her edition. Infanta Elena’s daughter will compete with Genoveva Casanovawho has also signed on for the program produced by Pablo Motos’ production company, 7 y Acción, as he has learned Informalia.

Sources from the production company and Atresmedia insist that the signing of the Mexican was closed before the photos of Genoveva with the now Danish king in Madrid came to light. She already explained that they were just two friends walking with her and that she acted as her host in the capital. Cayetano Martínez de Irujo’s ex also opened the doors of her house for him to spend the night. Mary Donaldson’s husband, who was proclaimed king on January 14 after the historic abdication of Queen Margaret, traveled without escorts, endangering the institution of his country.

The fifth season of The challenge It still does not have a premiere date on Antena 3. The fourth season is currently broadcast, with Chenoa, Mario Vaquerizo or Mónica Cruz among the star contestants. The program, in which eight celebrities face difficult tests each week, is the leader on Friday nights with an average screen share of 14.3% since its premiere on January 12.

The reappearance of Genoveva Casanova, who has remained out of the spotlight since her friendship with the then prince was revealed, is highly anticipated. Since the photos were published on November 7, he has taken refuge from the media storm in his home in Madrid, in the San Sebastián palace of the son of the Duchess of Alba and in London, where his twins Luis and Amina study. She also traveled to Andorra to ski. She has not spoken in the first person about her friendship with the Danish king, although she has provided information to journalists and has left some significant publications on networks. The Mexican has experience in television contests: we already saw her in the second season of Mask Singer (2020) dressed as a poodle and also in the latest edition of MasterChef Celebrityfrom which she became the first to be expelled.
