Lydia Lozano He has been dedicated to journalism for almost four decades, so much so that he has had to dust off all the archives of his chronicles and reports from yesteryear to be able to prepare his professional memoirs in which he recounts a pink journalism that has changed a lot but to which he has adapted and that It has given him many days of glory and some displeasure. ‘The Revenge of La Llorona’ (Esfera de los Libros) went on sale this week and is already among the ten best sellers on Amazon. Although he had been offered it many times, he had always refused to write it because he was very worried about not selling copies. When the ‘Sálvame’ factory disappeared from the Telecinco schedule, Lozano took advantage of the fact that he had time and considered it as therapy. «It suited me very well and I was very entertained until I started again on ‘Mañaneros’ (TVE) and on ‘It’s not like we were Shh’ (Here). It was therapy, I saved money on psychologists and I didn’t remember everything I had done either,” he explains.
Searching through those archives, he came across a lot of invoices from the past that have helped him confirm that he has been lucky enough to experience the good times of the profession. «My God, I earned a lot of money in one day… Now, they pay you much less and you have to accept it, because times have changed, advertising has also decreased and everything. But I have kept the invoices because I am very morbid, I don’t know whether to make a painting with them (laughs).
Those were different times and Lozano has seen how many people have gone bankrupt because they wasted money thinking that it was going to last a lifetime. She, however, “if I did a big report, I celebrated it but I put it in another account in case I needed to pull it. But it has never happened to me because thank God I have always had work and I have known how to adapt to the times. And until he signed for ‘A tu lado’ he did not have a representative: «There are many people who say that a journalist does not have to have a manager. Yes, I have had it and I have it because it is very difficult for me to talk about money and the truth is that they call him for things that I never thought they could offer me. Refers to Jose Muroa close friend and representative of him and many of the well-known faces of this country.
She also notes that the relationship between colleagues has changed a lot. Lozano is not envious by nature, but she recognizes that now there is much more envy than before: “It’s all about a damn chair. They turn green and then suck it up or spend the day criticizing others. You can’t live like that. If you are happy and satisfied with what you have, then you are not envious. In this world there are many people who have made money and now really need it because they have lost it. They are capable of doing anything to have a chair. Before, when you went one day, you had the refrigerator saved, but when they lower the prices like now, they are ridiculous, then you have to hit on your partner or say what you are saying is a lie, because I talk to the character. And they have done that to me a number of times but I knew it was because I was there another day.
The best sources
In the almost forty years of her profession, there are three programs that have marked her; ‘Tombola’ (Canal 9) which was his doctorate, ‘A tu lado’ (Telecinco) a television master and ‘Sálvame’ (Telecinco) with which he was crowned cum lauden. He acknowledges that he learned from Jose Maria Garcia that waiters and doormen at entertainment venues, and even more so if they are fashionable, are the best sources for a journalist. «The truth is that I try to talk a lot with them to see if I can get information from them. And I have asked some for their phone number and vice versa,” he confesses. He doesn’t mind admitting that he has paid some sources out of pocket for good information, especially when he has sold it well and they haven’t asked him for a dime.
She considers herself a friend of many famous people, but because she has forged the friendship and it has emerged, not because she has forced it: “The worst thing is when that character tells you at a private dinner that he is going to break up and then you see him on the cover of a magazine.” magazine. Then you pick up the phone to ask how they did this to you and you tell them that I would have preferred them to trust me with it because I have not been a naive person at all and I understood that they sold it, but it hurt me more that they didn’t tell me. Others have warned me and even told me something separately because they knew that I couldn’t pay them like a magazine. But I have never cut off a friendship because of this.
The cover of ‘The Revenge of La Llorona’
He writes about many in his book ‘The Revenge of La Llorona’. Above all, of Camilo Sesto and of Lucia Bose: «Camilo has meant a lot in my life. And if I have written something about Lucía and him it is because there are people who did not believe that I really had a friendship with them. And it has hurt me a lot. It hurt me a lot when I broke the news that Lucía Bosé had died, I even named the source because I asked for his permission. And people were left with the fact that Paola Dominguín called to say that I was not a friend of Lucía. They who knew. “I will never speak badly about them because they are part of my in-laws and I love them very much but I never understood why they did it.”
If Lozano was looking for something with this book, it is to tell everything that on a set he has not had time to express or claim, especially the worst episode of his professional life, the one that has to do with the controversy of Ylenia Carrisi: «I considered that I had to talk about the subject. I think that, above all, I explain my feelings a lot there. “I’m not talking about the subject, I’m talking about how I went through it, how it was experienced, how I got into a dynamic without wanting it and I think I had to tell it and if I didn’t it seemed like a bit of a scam.” This controversy took a greater emotional toll on him than on a professional one, as can be seen in the book. Lozano confesses that he suffered so much that her period was removed forever.
«I will retire when I do not know the character I am talking about»
Her appearance on television has never mattered to her, although she points out that her legs and eyes are what she likes the most: “I have always cared more about image, I was very lucky that they lent me very good clothes and brands and I didn’t care.” I had no problem, something that I already know for many people is a problem changing clothes every day and I think I have done it three times in my life. They tell me that Letizia repeats from time to time, but I can afford it, I don’t repeat. Lydia is not manic at all, although she is very scrupulous, especially when it comes to food.
Indestructible equipment
her husband Charlie He has witnessed many of these professional experiences, together they have formed an indestructible team for everything and everyone. The secret «I have never had to reconcile with Charly because from the first moment I knew that I had to be free to practice this profession. For that you have to be very intelligent and trust the other person a lot. It’s very nice to be able to go with a photographer to the other side of the world and not have your husband harassing you with messages. That gives a lot of freedom and I have had the same trust with him. She acknowledges that her maternal instinct has never been awakened: “I suffered because the one who could regret it was Charly, but we have never talked about it again.”

Lozano does not have social networks and knows that he has lost a lot of money but he knows himself and knows that he would not have been able to contain himself and would have gotten into useless arguments. «And in the end they ask you for more and more. And I’m really lazy about photos and videos… I’d rather pay for the restaurant than have to count all the dishes I’m eating. But I am a very voyeur of the networks, although I go through them faster and faster. And I get a lot of information on X (formerly Twitter) although since I know that the owner has given 1 million euros to trump “I’m very angry for the campaign.”
He doesn’t think about retiring as long as his back allows it and he continues to enjoy what he does: “I don’t see myself in the field with chickens… (laughs) Since now new characters don’t excite me when I no longer know who is who among us.” speaking then I will retire.
In a few weeks he will present at the legendary Gabanna nightclub in Madrid his book: «I had such a good time there and many of the exclusives I gave in Tómbola were seen in that nightclub. I climbed the palm tree there and, for example, I found Davor Sukerthen Real Madrid player kissing with Ana Obregon». He is happy because his owner Tito Pajares She has told him that it is her house although she is worried because it is overbooked “people think it is my birthday party. “I can’t invite everyone, God, after all it’s a book presentation, I just want my friends to be there.”
