He also made cameos on others productions, including Plats bruts, 7 Vidas, Los Lunnis and Land Rober, and was a panel judge on Gente de primera.
In February 2010 he appeared as a contestant on ¡Más que baile! over Jorge Javier Vazquez's protests.[4] The episode was controversial due to some alleged favouritism toward one of the participants, Belén Esteban: Despite her poor rehearsal and performance, she won.[5]
