Lupillo Rivera shocked the La Casa de los Famosos All Stars housemates, announcing his exit from the Telemundo reality series.
At the top of the show on Wednesday, April 30, Rivera told his fellow housemates he was leaving the competition due to health concerns.
“For medical reasons, a critical situation, I won’t be able to continue on La Casa de los Famosos All Stars,” a very emotional Rivera said.
Rivera was one of the celebrity housemates who returned for the All Stars seasons of the Telemundo competition series based on the Big Brother format.
“I have had a good time with all of you,” he said, powering through his tears. “I’ve had bad moments and I ask for forgiveness to production. I love this game. I love to win. I love to lose. I love to debate. I will miss it a lot.”

Rivera was one of the top game players of the show and was part of the “PaLuLu” alliance, named after the first two letters of their names, which also included Paulo Quevedo and Luca Onestini.
In the moments after his exit, the remaining housemates commented that they had not seen Rivera looking well in the lead-up to his exit.
La Casa de los Famosos All Stars is headed into the finals with only four more housemates leaving before the finale. Remaining in the competition are Alfredo Adame, Carlos “Caramelo” Cruz, Dania Méndez, Manelyk González, Niurka Marcos, Patricia “Paty” Navidad, Rosa Caiafa, and Rey Grupero.
