Who will replace Maxi López on MasterChef Celebrity
During the live conversation, Latorre asked Maxi who had made the decision about his replacement. He replied: "They gave me the name and I said yes". Immediately afterward, Yanina confirmed: "I'm going to replace Mr. Maxi López on MasterChef".
The host stated that she is excited, although she did not hide her nerves. "I know how to cook, but I'm panicking. Is it very difficult?" she asked live. Maxi acknowledged that the format can be challenging: "I've always cooked for my children at home, but here..." he remarked.
Wanda Nara's reaction and previous tensions
Amid laughter, Yanina raised a question that caused a stir: "I suppose Wanda had to approve my addition... Is she happy that I'm going to the set? Because she has me blocked on Instagram". The comment hinted at previous tensions between the two.
Were there other candidates for the spot?
In recent days, some rumors indicated that L-Gante could be the one to replace Maxi López. However, this was ruled out. On Intrusos (América TV), Paula Varela had anticipated that the singer was expected to join, but in the end, it will be Yanina who takes the position.
For now, it is not confirmed whether Maxi will return to the competition once he comes back from his trip, although it has emerged that he is very satisfied with his time on the show.
