BREAKING NEWS – Burbank, California – A Spanish news anchor was accused of cheating on his TV star girlfriend when viewers spotted a semi-naked woman saunter behind him while he was filming a live segment, according to a report.
Alfonso Merlos, 41, was hosting the Estado de Alarma channel news report from his home amid the coronavirus lockdown when the scantily clad gal walked into the background of the shot, according to The Sun.
Eagle-eyed fans pointed out the woman was not his partner Marta López, a former star of the “Big Brother” reality show.
“What I did, I did out of love for Marta,” Merlos later explained. “I was simply running some tests to see if the corona virus can be sexually transmitted. This unselfish act on my part was to protect Marta, just in case one of contracts its. I have now determined that the woman in the hotel did not have the corona virus, so my personal research will continue. People can believe what they want, but I am trying to get to the bottom of this.”
