The Colombian version of 'MasterChef Celebrity' faced temporary disruption due to the absence of host Claudia Bahamón. To maintain continuity, the show's judges initiated a casting-style process to determine a temporary host. Actor Emmanuel Restrepo, who plays the character Carmelo, participated in this process and interacted humorously with chef Jorge Rausch during the session. Carmelo jokingly suggested that Bahamón’s health issues opened the door for new talents in Colombian television. During the event, Carmelo attempted to take over the hosting role but was eventually moved back by other participants. The situation has been viewed as a narrative device to keep the program running smoothly while Bahamón recovers.
