The presenter himself posted the video of that moment on his Instagram account where he can be seen trying to clarify what a paella is and what is not before the confused look of his interlocutor, Steve McGovern. The Mallorki said he wasn’t ready to agree to calling any group of foods “pailla.”

Apparently the singer was angry about some bad experiences where they tried to give him a cat for a rabbit and tried to explain to the English that “rice with things” is not the same as “Valencian paella”. For her part, the interviewer wasn’t entirely clear if Merino was talking about a “certain dish.”

It is not that the paella is Spanish, it is from Valencia,” the Majorcan settled the controversy.
