Genoveva Casanova's peculiar excuse for not attending the 'MasterChef' final: “She's sick”

MasterChef Celebrity, the culinary talent show, concluded its eighth edition this Thursday. With emotions on the surface and Laura Londono as winner against Alvaro Muñoz Escassi, the finalists received the support of the rest of the contestants, who came to the set to encourage their companions in the final stretch of the program. Far from all the participants being in the last broadcast of the reality show, the big absentee was Genoveva Casanova. As the jury member announced, Pepe Rodriguez, the Mexican did not attend the final due to health problems. It must be remembered that the last stage of the program coincided with the controversial photos of Cayetano Martínez de Irujo's ex with Frederick of Denmark walking through the center of Madrid.

“Genoveva Casanova is missing. She couldn't be with us because she is sick. From here we hope that you recover very soon,” the jury clarified. Likewise, her colleagues did not overlook her absence and praised the model. Laura Londoño, Genoveva's friend and winner of the edition, explained days before the final that the two had a surreal conversation, where the heir to the Danish throne was mentioned.

Complicated months for Genoveva

Before monopolizing all the spotlight for her now famous photographs with Federico of Denmark, Genoveva faced a pulmonary embolism last August. The doctors recommended that she immerse herself in a space of tranquility and peace of mind due to her illness. For this reason, and after the scandal with Federico, the Mexican took refuge in the Basque Country.

Although the model fled the capital as soon as the photographs came to light, Genoveva has to organize the Christmas holidays in Madrid, since her children return to the big city. “She is in charge of receiving them and organizing how the family is going to spend these dates,” he said.
