The Iglesias Brothers at work has been relegated to late night after its precipitous fall in ratings since its premiere on July 9. A new installment will be broadcast this Tuesday and The famous person that Chábeli Iglesias and Julio José Iglesias Jr. have chosen is Ana Obregónwho will have his garden and swimming pool renovated at La Moraleja, the exclusive residential area where he lives. They will also make a dollhouse for Ana Lequio Obregónthe daughter-granddaughter of the actress and presenter who was born by surrogacy more than a year ago. All under the patronage of RTVE.
Isabel Preysler’s children’s program has generated a great debate since its premiere. Among the responses we found on X to the message with which the public entity promotes the new installment, we find: “That is to say, all Spaniards are going to buy and spend money on a dollhouse for Ana Obregón’s daughter. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry”, “A program for the rich to help the rich renovate their houses”, “Who thought that renovating the houses of the rich and famous with public money was a good idea” or “Please! Public television needs to be reconsidered. I have always defended the public entity but this type of nonsense has no place on quality public television”.
How much does it cost to renovate Ana Obregón’s pool and garden?
The daughter of Isabel Preysler and Julio Iglesias has received 28,000 euros for each deliverywhile Tamara Falcó’s brother has received 13,000 euros for each programme. This is what RTVE suggested to ABC following a request to Transparency. This first season of The Iglesias Brothers at work It has eight programs, so Chábeli has pocketed a total of 224,000 euros compared to Julio José’s 104,000 euros.
