Alfonso Merlos, a Spanish news star, was caught cheating on his celebrity girlfriend while live on-air for his television show, “Estado de Alarma” (State of Alarm).
According to viewers, a woman — barely dressed — was seen walking through the background while Merlos was giving a report from his house.
Fans noted that Merlos’ girlfriend at the time, Marta Lopez, was the star of the Spanish Big Brother television show and a celebrity in the country… and the barely dressed woman inside Merlos’ house was clearly not her.
Merlos apologized to Lopez and admitted his infidelity two days later on another Spanish news program, “Ana Rose.”
“If you think that my attitude has not been correct or that there are things that I have not done well, I have no problem asking for forgiveness, although my goal was not to harm someone else,” he said on the program.
According to The New York Post, Merlos claimed he and Lopez had already broken up before he was seen with another woman — but Lopez said the two were still together and called the scandal “shameful.”
“The partially clothed woman was later identified as journalist Alexia Rivas, according to the local new site 20 Minutos,” The New York Post reported. “Rivas said she has been dating the newsman for several weeks.”
