Celebrity Guests Join Pasapalabra This February

Manu Baqueiro, Paloma Lago, Desiré Cordero, and Javier Veiga support contestants with knowledge and fun.

Pasapalabra, the beloved Spanish television quiz show, continues to draw millions of viewers every afternoon at 8 PM, all eager to see if contestants can snag the massive jackpot, which has reached nearly 1.5 million euros.

This week, Rosa Rodríguez and Manu Pascual, the current contestants, have the opportunity to boost their chances with help from four celebrity guests who will join them on the set from February 7 to February 11.

Among this week's guests is Manu Baqueiro, well-known for his role as Marcelino on the Antena 3 series Amar es para siempre. Baqueiro has carved out a diverse career, initially rising to fame through long-running soap operas and more recently participating in MasterChef Celebrity. He is also appearing in the play Una semana nada más currently showing at the Teatros Luchana in Madrid. Beyond acting, he co-owns one of Madrid's trendiest restaurants.

Paloma Lago, another recognizable face, frequently appears on Pasapalabra. The model turned presenter rose to stardom during the 90s and has become one of Spain's iconic television figures. Known for her work on Telecinco, including popular shows produced by José Luis Moreno, Lago now embraces the role of influencer and event presenter, though she tends to shy away from the limelight nowadays.

Then there's Desiré Cordero, who captured the title of Miss Universo España back in 2014, achieving recognition as one of Spain's leading models. Besides her professional accolades, she made headlines during her relationship with actor Mario Casas, which ended last year. Currently, Cordero splits her time between Madrid and Miami, as she works diligently to establish herself within the modeling industry.

Completing the lineup is Javier Veiga, who is back on Pasapalabra after embarking on his directing career last year. Most famously, Veiga led El club de la comedia and has starred in lighthearted TV series like 7 vidas. His directorial endeavors include the upcoming 2025 release, Tierra de lobos, featuring Dani Rovira.

This week, as these celebrities join forces to aid Rosa and Manu, viewers can expect exciting moments and captivating interactions on Pasapalabra. Each guest is tasked with maximizing the time available for the contestants on the Rosco, enhancing the show’s dynamic and thrill-factor.

With viewers already hooked, the combination of celebrity backing and the search for the jackpot promises to add another layer of excitement to this cherished program. Tune in this week to witness the engaging interactions between contestants and guests, as they collectively strive for the highly coveted prize!
