Ángel de Brito opened his program LAM (América) on Thursday, the 24th with a scoop awaited by the entertainment world: he confirmed the list of 14 celebrities who will participate in the new season of MasterChef on Telefe.
The cooking competition has positioned itself as one of the channel's strongest bets. Its celebrity version generates great expectations due to the combination of competition, charisma, and media scandals.
Maxi López leads the list of confirmed figures
One of the biggest surprises was the inclusion of Maxi López. The former player, known for his story with Wanda Nara, adds an extra spice to the show, as the businesswoman would be the one to host the cycle again. His presence is seen as an explosive move in television terms.
It was also confirmed that Lizy Tagliani will participate, arriving amid a media controversy following the accusations by Viviana Canosa. Her charisma and humor promised memorable moments in the competition.
Marcela Feudale is another of the announced figures. De Brito revealed her name surprisingly by opening one of the envelopes live during LAM, causing astonishment on the panel.
Other names that are strongly rumored for this season
Sebastián Estevanez, a well-known telenovela heartthrob, was called for this edition. Florencia Peña was also mentioned, although her presence was still under negotiation. Chano Moreno Charpentier, an icon of Argentine pop, is in advanced talks to join, although he hasn't been officially confirmed.
Ángel de Brito hinted that one of his program's panelists —an "angelita"— would be part of the cast, although he avoided giving her name. That mystery fueled the intrigue around the show.
