Claudio "Papucho" Di Lorenzo surprised everyone by returning to the Gran Hermano studio after undergoing emergency surgery for abdominal pain. Although it was initially announced that he wouldn't return to the show to prioritize his recovery, the beloved participant reappeared in the audience, where he reunited with his companions and showed his support.
Papucho's unexpected departure from the house was announced by Santiago del Moro through his social media. "Although tonight we will have an official statement, I wanted to inform you in advance that Claudio (Papucho) will have to undergo surgery due to complications with his appendix," wrote the host, reassuring the reality show's followers via Instagram.
Soon after, the voice of Gran Hermano confirmed that the surgery had been successful: "Claudio had an affected appendix, so he had to undergo surgery. Don't worry, guys, everything is fine. I especially want to reassure you and say that after the surgery, Claudio is doing very well in the company of his loved ones and attended by excellent professionals."
