“This sixth season of ‘Masterchef celebrity’ it will be remembered as editing Veronica Forqué“. Miki Nadal announced it the day his partner went to the set of the TVE-1 contest to communicate that he was hanging the apron because his body was asking him to” need to stop. “No one imagined that those words would make even more sense a few weeks later, following the tragic death of the veteran and solvent actress.
The interpreter of the series ‘Pepa and Pepe’ and from movies like ‘The joyful life ‘,’ Kika ‘,’ Moors and Christians’ and ‘The year of lights’ was, without a doubt, the main protagonist of the last edition of the gastronomic ‘talent show’ of the ‘vips’ chefs. Her constant mood swings gave rise to scenes of a lot of tension, especially in outdoor tests, where screams spread and Forqué used to reproach the attitude of her teammates when she considered that they were not following her instructions, although she did not have to act as captain.
However, when they returned to the set, the actress did not lose her rings for apologizing to anyone for their behavior and, between phrases in English, French or Italian and her good ‘feeling’ with Pepe Rodriguez, I always managed to relax the atmosphere.
The casting team had to see the same thing that all the spectators saw, that this woman had an imbalance. They should never have accepted that participation as a contestant. Because if you don’t like it later, the networks are primed with the contestants. It is a serious error of the program, period.

In fact, the two winners of ‘Masterchef celebrity’ praised the actress in an interview with EL PERIÓDICO as soon as her victory was known. “It is that Verónica has been the sauce of this ‘Masterchef’, which will be remembered by her. And outside of the outdoor cooking, Verónica is probably the most beloved participant, along with Carmina [Barrios]. She is an affectionate woman, a good companion, nice. What happens is that she gets very nervous when cooking outdoors. But hey, we also have other defects. Come on, we all adore her a lot, “commented the sports journalist Juanma Castaño.

“You didn’t want to see that she was mentally unbalanced and you used her to increase the audience, masking everything behind some funny connotations when in reality she was suffering”; “It was one person with depression.

Maybe what you had to ask for is forgiveness, “some tweeters recriminated.

“Exploiting human frailty”
Until Maria war, the president of the Association of Spanish Film Informers that awards the Feroz Awards, has put television ‘shows’ in the spotlight: “We are very sorry that such a happy and funny image [de Forqué] has been tarnished by her participation in television shows that have exploited human frailty. We are concerned that the fame of cinema is used for spurious purposes and above all to show the weakness and fragility of interpreters in delicate moments of their lives, “he commented.
Recorded before summer, the last program in which Forqué participated before announcing his voluntary withdrawal was broadcast last Monday, November 22. Among the followers of the ‘show’ there was a lot of expectation about whether the actress would continue in the competition or not, since the previous week she resigned to participate in the expulsion test due to fatigue. His comeback became the highest rated installment to date, with 2,473,000 viewers, and the phrase “I can not anymore” with which he expressed his saturation was a trend on Twitter.
