Thais Villas

Thais Villas Aribau (born 2 October 1974) is a Spanish journalist and television presenter who has been the street reporter on the satirical news programme El intermedio (La Sexta) since the show's first broadcast in March 2006, making her the only member of the original cast still present after nearly two decades; her ironic street interviews with politicians outside the Congress of Deputies are among the most recognisable segments in Spanish satirical television. A graduate in Audiovisual Communication who studied in Barcelona, she worked in Catalan regional television and radio and at several Madrid broadcasters before joining La Sexta, and in 2019 simultaneously presented the feminist late-night programme Las que faltaban on Movistar+ and the panel show Control T on TV3; she is the sister of journalist and television director Santi Villas.
