Ricky Martin’s hoax and the jam in ‘Surprise, surprise’ was “a commercial strategy,” according to a flight attendant. “Concha Velasco did the program marvelously, but it did not reach the audience that Isabel Gemio did,” the actress Gracia Olayo has justified. Concha Velasco reveals the name of the father of her first child: “At that time, he was married.”
It is clear that social networks are not necessary to spread certain hoaxes like wildfire , and if not that they tell Surprise, surprise , who lived it in his flesh back in 1999 .
At the beginning of the year, the legendary Antena 3 program received a visit from Ricky Martin , who came to surprise a teenage fan . As usual, the moment had tears and hugs, but the gossip pointed to more things happening and something surprising was seen on television that night.
Over the next few days, a rumor began to spread that when the singer entered the girl’s room , she had jam smeared on her crotch and was calling for her dog to lick her. However, none of that happened.
It began to penetrate the collective imagination that this moment could be seen on television, people criticizing the grotesqueness of the scene, others saying they had seen the video, had it recorded and even sold it.
For this reason, Concha Velasco , who presented Surprise, surprise in those years after the departure of Isabel Gemio , had to speak publicly about it and deny it: ” We have been victims of a hoax . They have attacked us in a kind of collective madness, an attack in which they talked about something that never happened . ”
After so many years of that television moment that never existed and that urban legend that was generated, many things have been commented: if it was a joke, an attack to discredit the program … But Gracia Olayo , who was a stewardess in the program with her twin sister Soledad, has shed a little more light on the matter.
The actress, known for her roles in The Protected , The Call or her appearances in other Javis projects , has spoken with eCartelera about this issue: ” I think someone made it up, and I’m not going to tell you the person , to give more publicity “.
“That program, which Concha Velasco did wonderfully well, did not reach the audience quotas that Isabel Gemio did ,” so she believes that at that time, that “was a fake ” that someone invented from within. “We were in there and we didn’t find out or anything. It’s a lie. It was a commercial strategy, but hey, it’s my opinion . Nobody proved anything.”
