'The Voice' presenter to leave his worldly goods to underprivileged children
19/03/2020
A POPULAR Spanish TV presenter has stated in his will that his entire estate will go to underprivileged children.
Jesús Vázquez has been embroiled in charity campaigns and events just lately, including working with the United Nations' High Council for Refugees (UNHCR), for which he is a goodwill ambassador.
The 54-year-old from Ferrol, Galicia has also worked with AIDS charities and for children at home and in the third world.
According to a recent interview with the magazine Pronto, the X-Factor and Bake-Off Spain presenter wants to know that, after he is gone, children who most need it will 'have a new school or health centre or hospital because of him' which will 'help them to have a better future'.
One of Vázquez's most recent humanitarian trips was to a refugee camp in Rwanda, which left him profoundly moved.
“Suddenly, the UNHCR and the refugees made everything make sense at last,” says the well-known small-screen face.
Vázquez presents the pop reality show The Voice, the children's version Idol Kids, and Spain's own version of Got Talent, and has also been the face of the earliest of the pop-idol shows, Operación Triunfo ('Operation Triumph') and Supervivientes ('Survivors'), the nation's answer to I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!, which is filmed in a rainforest in Hondurás.
He has been married to Roberto Cortés since 2005, after they met in 2001.
