Mr Gisbert, who describes himself as a “practising lawyer and freedom revolutionary”, defended the action on social media, arguing that he was ensuring continuity so his appearance would match an earlier shot.
“I’m not a reporter and I’m not used to making live connections,” he added in a later apology for his “stupid mistake”.
Mr Jiménez also responded to the clip saying he never asked the influencer to “dramatise something”.
“I cannot count on him, he has failed me. I was shocked when they sent him to me,” he said in a video posted online.
The broadcaster said Mr Gisbert would not be allowed to contribute to the programme again after his “despicable” stunt that had undermined their coverage of the devastation.
The Telegraph contacted Mr Gisbert for comment but he did not immediately respond.
