For several days now, the contestants on "MasterChef Celebrity," the cooking show on RCN Channel, have been upset by the prolonged absence of their partner Luis Fernando Hoyos.

The issue has generated so much speculation among competitors that some have begun to believe the actor has decided to permanently leave the reality show.

However, during one of the program's broadcasts, host Claudia Bahamón explained that the artist's constant absence is related to certain health complications.

Furthermore, the Colombian has emphasized that Hoyos' absence is due solely to the recommendations of doctors, who have extended his sick leave so he can fully recover.

Although the presenter insists that the actor will return when his condition allows, the 'MasterChef Celebrity' contestants couldn't help but express their discomfort with the situation.

In that sense, some of the artist's colleagues emphasized that, while they are concerned about his current condition, they don't think it's fair that they continue to compete against each other in the weekly challenges while he retains his spot.

Following the controversy that erupted both in the competition's kitchen and on social media, Nicolás de Zubiría, Jorge Raush, and Belén Alonso discussed possible measures that will be taken to balance the situation when Hoyos returns.

According to the chefs, the actor will have to accept the usual penalty for this type of case, resume his 'MasterChef Celebrity' performance wearing a black apron, and overcome the lifeline to remove it.

"The important thing is that he recovers and returns. It's the spot he's earned, up to where he's come from. It's not fair, but that's the situation, and he's not on the sidelines because he wants to be," Violeta Bergonzi commented during the program.

While the medical reasons that have kept Luis Fernando Hoyos away from the weekly challenges are unknown at this time, the actor spoke out on social media and indicated that only time will tell if he's fit to return.
