Pocholo is undoubtedly part of the history of Spain. But after decades of television appearances, it was on MasterChef Celebrity 9 where he wanted to reveal what is hidden behind his famous backpack, an inseparable element of the aristocrat and businessman that is almost as well-known as he is. What would Pocholo be without his backpack? We tell you the details.
It was during the presentation of the first test of the edition, when Pepe, seeing how uncomfortable Pocholo was, decided to calm him down. “I have something for you, Pocholo,” said the chef of El Bohío. Pocholo’s face automatically changed. “It’s my backpack,” he said, smiling. Indeed, Pepe gave him the backpack and the celebrity breathed a sigh of relief. Even his colleagues recognized that it was an inseparable part of him. “How bad it was for him because he didn’t have his backpack…”, Itziar Miranda admitted..
The best kept secret an unexpected gift for the judges
With the backpack in his possession, Pocholo explained what it meant to him: “I always carry it everywhere. When I travel, when I ride my motorcycle. Always. I clean it and take care of it. Thank goodness they brought it to me.” But the judges wanted to know more. What does Pocholo carry in his backpack? “I’m intrigued, so many years with the backpack. What do you carry in there?” asked Pepe and Jordi.
It was at this moment that Pocholo opened his backpack and with nothing to hide, he showed its contents: “I bring games, things to give away, an anti-theft device – if someone leans on it, a cat makes a sound – etc…” Finally, Pocholo showed off three bracelets he made himself in Ibiza with the M of MasterChef embroidered on them. “It’s a gift for the three of you,” the businessman told the judges.
Now that we know what’s in Pocholo’s backpack, we need to find out how he handles himself in the kitchens of MasterChef Celebrity 9. For now, Pepe, Jordi and Samantha have confirmed that he is the cleanest and most relaxed candidate. Will he be able to increase the pace and grow within the program?
