Cristina Pedroche Spanish Journalist Born 1988 in Vallecas

Early life

Cristina Pedroche Navas was born on 30 October 1988 and is a Spanish television presenter, reporter and model. She studied at the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos in Madrid, and for a time she combined her university courses, which included business administration and tourism, with work as a television reporter.

Career

Pedroche came to public attention when she joined the daily comedy programme Sé lo que hicisteis... on the channel laSexta as a reporter, a job she held until 2011. From August 2011 to June 2012 she worked as a reporter on another daily comedy programme, Otra movida. In March 2010 she appeared on the cover of the Spanish edition of FHM magazine. In September 2012 she added radio work, joining the programme Yu, no te pierdas nada on Los 40 as a collaborator.

In December 2013 she became a member of the team of Zapeando, a daily comedy show on laSexta hosted by Frank Blanco. She took part in the programme's water-fight segment with Blanco in April 2014, and she used the show to draw attention to ALS by taking the Ice Bucket Challenge. In December 2014 it was announced that she had signed a long-term exclusive contract with Atresmedia, the group that owns laSexta. She also appeared in an episode of the comedy series La que se avecina.

Her New Year's Eve broadcasts have become a regular part of her work. She co-hosted the 2014–15 broadcast of the traditional midnight Twelve Grapes for laSexta with Blanco, and the dress she wore drew a great deal of comment. From the 2015–16 broadcast she moved to Antena 3, first alongside Carlos Sobera and from 2016 with Alberto Chicote. Each year her dress is kept secret until the night itself and is usually shown shortly before the first chime. According to published figures, she and Chicote led the ratings on that night from 2020–21 through 2023–24.

In 2015 she left Zapeando to host the fifth Spanish season of the reality competition Pekín Express, which was her first job as a solo presenter. In 2017 she presented the talent show Tú sí que sí on laSexta. In April 2021 she hosted a season of Love Island España, and in 2023 she presented the Spanish version of the quiz show Password. On the big screen she appeared in the comedy Sin rodeos, released in 2018, and she was also cast in Santiago Segura's film Sin filtro.

Public roles

Pedroche took part in an ALS awareness drive in 2014, using her place on Zapeando to join the Ice Bucket Challenge. Her Instagram account had close to three million followers as of October 2026.
