Escassi breaks down upon discovering the truth about his son on 'Supervivientes' and stars in one of the toughest moments

Álvaro Muñoz Escassi has experienced one of the most intense moments of his entire television career during the final stretch of Supervivientes. The horseman, known for his strong and competitive character, has completely broken down after receiving an unexpected message from his son. For the first time, the young man has broken his media silence to appear on television and deliver words that have deeply touched his father.

During the latest gala of Tierra de Nadie, hosted by Carlos Sobera, the contestants faced the now customary Table of Temptations. In Escassi's case, he had to choose between a plate of cannelloni or a very special phone call. After a brief but intense deliberation, he agreed to speak with two very significant people for him: Lara Dibildos and his son.

Álvaro, visibly moved, couldn't hold back his tears. His son, who had always avoided media exposure, expressed all his pride and admiration: "Dad, the values you show on the program are the ones you taught me when I was little, I love you very much."
