Viewers of Socialité were completely surprised today by what happened live on air. María Verdoy, the show's host, had to interrupt the planned rundown to deliver a surprise statement about Terelu Campos.
The message, unexpected and very clear, came directly from the main figure. Everything happened while a report was being aired about the current situation of the street dedicated to Teresa Campos in Málaga.
María Verdoy stops Socialité to read Terelu Campos's statement
It has been almost two years since Teresa Campos passed away. From the very beginning, her hometown, Málaga, wanted to pay tribute to her. They decided to name a street in the city after her.
However, time has passed and the plaque for that street hasn't been placed or inaugurated by her daughters. For this reason, Socialité investigated the matter and received a clear response from the city council. Specifically, they said: "The street is approved and included in the municipal street directory, but the plaque will be placed when the journalist's daughters inform us that the event will take place."
That response could generate a wave of comments on social media and some concern among the Campos family's followers. To prevent this, Terelu Campos, who was watching the show, decided to intervene immediately. In a very unusual move, she sent a live text message to María Verdoy to personally clarify the situation.
The host, aware of the importance of the statement, didn't hesitate to stop the rundown and address the audience seriously. She explained: "Terelu is watching us and has asked us to clarify, to make one thing very clear."
Immediately afterward, María read in full the message sent to her by the sister of Carmen Borrego. The message read as follows: "I would like there to be no doubt, there is no problem with the street. We are the ones who, after a conversation with Málaga's city council, have decided to wait a little so the street is more developed and doesn't give rise to speculation."
"We are delighted with the street and the location, but we believe that, for the good of the city council and everyone, it's best for it to be a bit more built up. This way, no one will be able to say anything harmful about the city council and its mayor, whom we love very much and to whom we are very grateful."
Terelu Campos wants to avoid misunderstandings with the tribute to her mother
Terelu Campos's words not only clarified the situation, but also showed once again her concern for preserving her mother's legacy and avoiding unnecessary controversy. Far from there being a conflict with the city council, what exists is an explicit desire from the Campos family to wait for the best moment to inaugurate the street.
María Verdoy's gesture, reading the message publicly, was highly praised by both the audience and the show's colleagues. It's not common to see a host stop a live broadcast to deliver an urgent statement, but in this case it was more than justified. The news deserved to be handled with sensitivity and precision, given the emotions still stirred by the late journalist's legacy.
For the Campos family, this tribute has great emotional value. The matriarch was a pioneer in television, a woman who broke barriers and for decades was an essential figure in Spanish households. Having her name present on a street in her city is a way to keep her memory and legacy alive.
