Manuel Cortés has been out of Survivors 2023 since Sunday, May 28. The singer’s medical problems, who had been evacuated from the beach the previous weekend, have prevented him from continuing in the competition.
Ion Aramendi connected with Raquel Bollo’s son to give him the news, but before he asked him how he was. “The body does not respond to me as I would like and thanks to the medical team I am,” he shared. The host of the Telecinco ‘reality’ said: “You know that in this contest the state of health of the contestant is the main thing for us and under no circumstances would we put the physical integrity of any of the survivors at risk.”
The presenter read a statement: “After carrying out all the relevant analyzes and tests again, and seeing the results of these and your clinical situation, the program’s medical team has decided that your physical condition does not advise your continuity in the contest and therefore you must abandon the adventure”.
The Andalusian could not contain the tears: “I imagined it because these are being very hard days for me because the body does not accompany me. I walk dragging myself and I think that is not what the public has seen of me during all this time. I’m very sorry. The dream I had of winning the program is breaking and I’ve been fighting against that for several days, but it’s impossible.” Cortés was able to speak by phone with his grandfather, Fernando Bollo, who tried to encourage him and stressed: “First it is you, my soul.”
Manuel Cortés met his companions on the beach to tell them that he had to leave. The contestant broke down and hugged his sister, who also collapsed upon discovering the news. Later he addressed the group: “You can imagine. After the tests, I have to go home.”
After talking about his state of health, he asked everyone to take care of Alma Bollo and her not to give up: “If you win, I win. You are on an incredible run, doing great. You can with the chest more than me right now … You’re a clear finalist, you have to keep doing it like you’re doing so far.”
