Alfonso Merlos is a journalist, model and celebrity in his native Spain but his personal life has become a source of public ¡®entertainment¡¯ after a video of his interview that he was broadcasting went viral. In the video interview, while he was talking, a half-naked woman casually walked into the frame in the background. To make matters worse, reports say it was not his girlfriend.
He was reportedly speaking as a guest on journalist Javier Negre¡¯s ¡®State of Alarm¡¯ YouTube channel last Friday when the semi-naked woman casually came into the frame, causing Negre¡¯s jaw to drop.

The woman in the frame is not Merlos¡¯ partner former Big Brother co-contestant Marta Lopez reportedly, but has been identified as Alexia Rivas, a reporter with Spanish TV show ¡®Socialite.¡¯
Social media users termed the entire incident as ¡®Merlos Place¡¯: a play on words referencing ¡®Melrose Place,¡¯ the American soap opera.
People were quick to rip his personal life to shreds; they took to Twitter and YouTube and flooded the Internet with memes.
Lopez, the ¡®jilted¡¯ girlfriend, soon came out with a statement. She told Spanish tabloids that she¡¯s ¡®currently going through a rather painful breakup with Merlos, and found the whole affair ¡°unpleasant¡± and ¡°shameful¡¯¡¯.
Merlos reportedly publicly apologised to her and scolded journalists for not respecting the line between professional and personal life.
Talking to publication Merlos reportedly said, "I'm strong and I'm fine and don't want to make any declarations. Things are being said that are not true."
Well, may be this would teach people to be extra careful when they go online from their homes.
