Claudia Bahamón, host of MasterChef Celebrity 2026, explained her absence in several episodes of the show due to a cardiovascular episode she suffered during a filming day. The communicator stated that her health is stable and asked her followers to remain calm.
Bahamón shared her message through social media, where she emphasized that her well-being is a priority and that she needed to step away from the set to address her health. In her words, she expressed: “I am fine. Don’t worry, I am fine,” clarifying that her discomfort occurred at a critical moment in the show, when Milena had to leave the competition.
“Several months ago, while filming, I had a cardiovascular episode that scared me a lot and forced me to stop during an elimination,” she explained. The host detailed that she had to go to an emergency service, which kept her out of filming for a considerable time.

Bahamón also hinted that her return to the show will depend on her health, without specifying an exact date: “I promise to come back… I won’t tell you when, but it had to be until my body told me it was the right time,” she stated.
Despite her absence, she used humor to mention that some contestants tried to replace her on camera, joking that “meanwhile, in my absence, it seems that there was a casting call for my replacement.” Supportive comments for the host flooded her social media, with messages highlighting her uniqueness and importance on the show.
For now, Claudia Bahamón has not provided additional medical details regarding her cardiovascular episode or the time she has required for her recovery, focusing on confirming that she is well and that her departure from filming was a necessary decision to take care of her health.
