According to reports on A la Tarde, the host of the Telefe show allegedly insisted that the Formula 1 driver participate in a special segment of the program.
Wanda Nara would not only be focused on hosting the new edition of MasterChef Celebrity (Telefe), but also on adding figures capable of generating impact both on and off the screen. And, according to reports in recent hours, one of the names that sparked her interest the most was Franco Colapinto.
The information was revealed by journalist Santiago Sposato during a broadcast of A la Tarde, where he stated that Wanda was “dazzled” by the young Argentine driver and had tried to convince him to be part of the Telefe reality show.
As explained on the program, the intention was not for Colapinto to join as a permanent participant in the culinary competition, but rather to have a special appearance in one of the episodes.
“Wanda wanted to have an ex of China Suárez on her show. It was for a special, for him to participate in some way in the program. Obviously, she couldn’t and wasn’t interested in him being a fixed participant,” Sposato detailed about the strategy that the host supposedly devised.
However, despite the production's insistence and attempts to contact him during his trips to Argentina, the Alpine driver reportedly rejected the proposal.
It was reported that neither the calls nor the efforts to extend the invitation managed to convince the racer, who is currently going through one of the most important moments of his sports career.
Franco Colapinto would seek to distance himself from scandals.
Franco Colapinto's connection with China Suárez
Wanda Nara's interest in adding Franco Colapinto would not be coincidental. In addition to his great present in Formula 1, the driver has also been at the center of media attention due to romance rumors with China Suárez.
During 2024, the two were romantically linked and the relationship generated huge repercussions on social media and entertainment news. It even emerged that the actress had tattooed the driver's number, although she later decided to cover up the design when the relationship did not progress.
For this reason, the possibility of Colapinto appearing on the show hosted by Wanda quickly sparked speculation and comments about the historical tension between the businesswoman and the actress.
