Overview
- Production and channel sources confirmed late Monday that L‑Gante will not take part in the upcoming MasterChef Celebrity season after negotiations between the artist and the show stalled.
- The split followed the removal of the singer’s promotional image from MasterChef Celebrity, Telefe and L‑Gante Instagram accounts, a move that drove immediate public speculation.
- Reports contacted by Visiónshow say the parties failed to agree on contract conditions, with money among the points that blocked a deal.
- Telefe issued an official denial of alternative explanations and rejected claims that a personal confrontation with host Wanda Nara prompted the decision.
- L‑Gante had been announced on August 25 as part of the cast, and his absence may affect promotional plans and final casting logistics as the show moves toward its premiere.
