Chanel reveals her hidden name and other secrets of Eurovision 2022 in ‘El Hormiguero’: Did she charge to represent?

The representatives of Eurovision, the first guest in the new season of the Pablo Motos programDuring the summer months we have seen Pablo Motos enjoy his vacations, he even shared the images of the “best bathroom” in a magical corner of the Valencian Community, but everything the good ends. The Valencian presenter has ended his vacations and has taken charge of the 17th season of ‘El Hormiguero’, counting on Chanel to open almost 10 months of live broadcast from Monday to Thursday in prime time on Antena 3. The first program has been a tribute, over time, of the Eurovision representative, although the film that premieres the program with all the guests who passed through the set during the last year has not been lacking. Chanel has remembered some moment of the Eurovision gala, especially when Trancas y Petancas appeared on the scene. In the typical game that the ants play with the guest, some of the secrets of the European event in which she came third have been revealed. The singer of Cuban origin has not overlooked, when asked by Pablo Motos, the “inconveniences” that fame generates. “Can you go down to buy?” Asked the Valencian. “With glasses and a cap, yes,” the singer, who has lived in Catalonia since she was a child, answered laughing. But without a doubt, the questions from the ants have been the ones that have elicited the most curious details from Chanel. The singer has confirmed that she has not received anything “for going to Eurovision”, ruling out that there is a kind of ‘salary’ for the national Eurovision representative, although she has admitted that the diets are included and that she did not bear any expense of the experience musical. She, in the same way, has confirmed that during the gala period in which the different votes made by the participating countries are read, «the alcohol that is seen to be consumed by the participants is real. What’s more, if you run out you just have to ask them to bring you another bottle. As simple as that”. But the big surprise came when Trancas and Petancas asked about the post-festival part of the fame, trying to find out if Chanel is using a false name to order food at home. The young woman has confirmed that she does, that when she asks for food to take to her home, she does it using another name. She initially did not want to reveal the identity of the Chanel client, but at the insistence of Pablo Motos she has revealed her false name. “It starts with Me”, Chanel has advanced after saying that “I say it and another day I will change it so that they do not recognize me”. It has been Pablo Motos who has come up with the name Mercedes, to which the singer has indicated that she uses “the diminutive”. Chanel, when she orders food at home, pretends to be Merche, so that her iconic name does not reveal her real identity. At another point in the game with the ants, Chanel has settled any option that she will present herself again to represent Spain in Eurovision 2023. “I have already lived the experience and now it is the turn of other people,” the singer has indicated.
