The farewell to her partner has broken the journalist who, as soon as she started, collapsed live: "For me, Lottery Day is a day that I especially like because it is a day to smile, but today we both have a knot in our stomachs." stomach".
"Yes, it is a day of emotions here at Informativos Telecinco. Last night we said goodbye to Pedro and today we have to say goodbye. It is our last news program together after many years, almost 13," Cantero said then, trying to give his partner some time to to recover, something that has been impossible.
"I want to thank Agustín and Esther..." Isabel Jiménez started again without being able to continue. "It's a drama. Nothing happens. It has been a pleasure to work with this woman," Cantero continued while Isabel Jiménez took her hand.
"You have been the best companion," the journalist told him through tears. "Keep enjoying and keep working. Goodbye," were David Cantero's last words before finishing the news, which they both said goodbye holding hands and blowing kisses.
