Convictions for defamation, false or invented information, judicial processes opened for crimes such as misappropriation, problems with the Treasury… Many of the collaborators of ‘Sálvame’ will go unemployed when the program’s broadcast ends next month. They will have to look for a new job or a new occupation. And they will do so with the experience and self-confidence acquired over the years in front of the cameras, but they will also drag a backpack full of scandals and controversies. This is the curriculum of the main collaborators of a television space that has marked an era and for which they came to enter, in some cases, more than 1,000 euros per program.

Lydia Lozano
The long shadow of the daughter of Albano and Romina
“Oh, nothing, nothing, I’m not going to talk, my life.” Lydia Lozano refused to make statements to this newspaper on Saturday after the news of the cancellation of ‘Sálvame’ was released. Lozano is 62 years old and she began her professional career with a solid training and performance in the world of informative journalism. She subsequently made the leap into the world of the gossip. But if a ghost haunts Lydia, it is that of Ylenia Carrisi, the missing daughter of Albano and Romina.
The Madrid journalist assured in 2005 that she had reliable data and evidence that the daughter of the famous Italian singers was alive. What happened next is considered one of the iconic moments of television at the beginning of this century in Spain. Also as one of the most embarrassing. It must be remembered that Ylenia Carrisi disappeared without a trace in January 1994, in New Orleans. Her parents searched for her for a long time, with great pain in their hearts. They moved heaven and earth to find it. She is believed to have drowned in the waters of the Mississippi River. In fact, in 2013 she was officially presumed dead.

Albano, logically outraged, went to Spain to reply to Lydia, whose supposed irrefutable evidence ended up evaporating. The journalist assured that she had made a professional mistake by rushing, but the truth is that she also suggested that there was something dark behind all that. Telecinco took advantage of those miseries to raise its audience ratings, even when it left one of its supposed emerging stars at the feet of the horses.
Albano was relentless. He put his legal machinery to work and filed a million-dollar lawsuit that he only agreed to withdraw when Lydia Lozano appeared before millions of viewers to apologize, with tears in her eyes. Ylenia never appeared and the journalist has had (and still has) to deal with that ghost. A weak point that his teammates, like Kiko Hernández, have not hesitated to exploit on several occasions during these 14 years that ‘Sálvame’ has lasted.

Kiko Hernandez
Convicted of misappropriation
Kiko Hernandez is 46 years old. She became known thanks to the third edition of Big Brother. In these 14 years she has not escaped scandal. In 2015, she was sentenced to six months in prison for misappropriation, after a thorny matter related to her business outside of television. In 2008, shortly before entering Sálvame, Hernández had a real estate company that closed without prior notice, keeping 14,000 euros from a client, to whom they gave no explanation. This person decided to sue and obtained a favorable ruling.
It has not been the only judicial setback for the former big brother. Last January, a court sentenced the daughter of Jesulín de Ubrique and María José Campanario to pay 30,000 euros for meddling in her private life. Hernández has trained as an actor and has participated in a film and, above all, in the world of theater. Facet to which he could now dedicate himself. He is also the father of two girls whom he had through a surrogacy process.

Jorge Javier Vazquez
Lawsuits with the Treasury
Jorge Javier continues to be an appreciated and recognized presenter (he has an Ondas Award, among other awards). The end of ‘Save me’ is possibly a full stop in his resume, waiting to open a new stage. He has a contract with Telecinco for two years. Born in Badalona in 1970, Jorge Javier worked for the legendary Super Pop magazine before transferring his career to television.
In recent years he has had to face a problem that, as he himself has admitted on occasion, has undermined his peace of mind and health. It is a series of trials with the Treasury for the payment of taxes from their companies. Some of the lawsuits are still pending judgment by the last instance: the Supreme Court.
When the news of the goodbye of ‘Sálvame’ was known, the Vice President of the Government Pablo Iglesias offered him a program on Canal Red TV. “Very soon on CanalRed TV ‘Rojos y Maricones’ presented by Jorge Javier Vázquez,” he joked.

Its popularity is not going through the best moment
«’Save me’ is the program of my life and the day it ends, I will go with it». This was one of the headlines left by a recent interview with Belén Esteban before learning that Telecinco had canceled ‘Sálvame’. Will the woman who became known for her relationship with Jesulín de Ubrique continue on television?
The popularity of ‘la Esteban’ has known better moments than the current one. His career has had many ups and downs, as has his love life. In 2008 he married Fran Álvarez, from whom he ended up divorcing. His ex died in 2020, after acknowledging in an interview with a gossip magazine that he had addiction problems.
Like most of her peers, Belén has not been outside of convictions for violating the right to honor of other characters. In 2021, a sentence was released that forced her to compensate the journalist Ángela Portero with 10,000 euros, of which she said that she used drugs. She had previously been punished for insulting Carmen Lomana. The judges forced her to pay 30,000 euros in compensation.

Kiko Matamoros
A television survivor
Kiko Matamoros’s career has been marked by scandals. But this character has survived all of them, becoming a regular on all kinds of programs, from those dealing with the gossip to sports. Matamoros was consolidated on television for being the representative of Carmina Ordóñez. She entered the world of celebrity through her brother-in-law (he was married to Mar Flores’ sister) and slowly but steadily made her way.
He has survived several decades of ups and downs and has been skillful enough not to be dragged down by the problems of his twin brother, Coto Matamoros, who was even in prison and fled in Thailand due to problems with the Justice. At 66, he lives happily with his current partner (the influencer Marta López Álamo, who is four decades younger).
