Good news sounds for Bárbara Rey after a few complicated weeks for the former vedette due to the interview given by her son to the program ‘On Fridays’ . Ángel Cristo Jr. has launched some harsh accusations against his mother, from the difficult childhood he lived to how the photos of King Juan Carlos with Barbara were created to blackmail him , and has revealed the reason why he has decided to break his silence after years refusing to talk about his private life.

The ex-vedette, who claims to be devastated, would be negotiating her participation in the next edition of ‘Your face sounds familiar to me’ (Antena 3) . Totana’s gives the profile for this type of contest, one of the audience’s favorites, since she meets three of the basic requirements: she sings, dances and interprets.

It would not be an unexpected signing since in recent weeks Bárbara Rey has been bringing great joy to Atresmedia. After the broadcast on the subscription platform Atresplayer of ‘Cristo y Rey’, a biopic authorized by the ex-vedette in which she reviews her professional and personal life, the fiction has begun to be broadcast free-to-air on Antena 3, becoming the audience leader in its time zone.

Furthermore, in 2023, the Fuencarral network also premiered ‘Una vida Bárbara’, a documentary that covers the exciting life of María García, better known as Bárbara Rey, narrated by the protagonist herself. On the other hand, her daughter Sofía Cristo, who has become her great support in these difficult times, is a regular contributor to ‘Espejo Público’.

This would be her return to the small screen, beyond being invited to various spaces such as ‘Viajando a Chester’, ‘Pasapalabra’ or ‘ El Hormiguero ‘. In her long professional career, her role as host of variety programs stands out – ‘Palmarés’, ‘Esto esspecta’ – and she has participated, as an actress, in series such as ‘Curro Jiménez’ and ‘La casa de los Messes’.

The casting of ‘Your face sounds familiar to me’ and its signing is not confirmed, since the name of another ex-vedette, Bibiana Fernández, is also very popular . Since the profiles are very similar, the production company could opt for one or the other, but not both. Added to them is the name of the model Julianna Ro, elected Miss International Spain 2022, who already confessed to us when she won the title that she would love to participate in the contest.
