However, although we have seen her very committed during the first broadcast, in her interview for El Confidencial, she assured that they "convinced" her to take this important step:
"I'm in this show because they've convinced me... I don't know how, but they have. I suppose I said yes because of the moment they offered it to me. Due to my personal, family circumstances, and my life in general, it was good for me mentally and psychologically."

On the other hand, Isabel Gemio also wanted to talk about the complexity experienced within this well-known format of La 1. Because, unlike what many might think, competing in Bake Off: famosos al horno is not an easy task:
"This show is very difficult, let no one think that Bake Off is easy. However, it's true that it's beautiful, pure, positive, it has something magical... I accepted because I just had to be myself, there was no controversy, I didn't have to fight with anyone."
Additionally, Isabel Gemio had no qualms about stating that this experience has been quite a "challenge" for her. Despite being used to sets and the unpredictability of live broadcasts, she had never collaborated on anything like this.
Finally, the journalist wanted to comment on all the work that takes place behind the scenes of Bake Off: famosos al horno. At that moment, she revealed one of the things that has been most difficult for her: delegating tasks to the team.
"Without knowing how I'm lit, without controlling anything... As vain as I am. You're, in some way, at the mercy of the producer, the director, the editor[...]We've recorded a lot, with endless days. They picked us up at 5:30 AM and we returned home at 6:00 PM."
