Her debut on screen came at just 17 years old in the show Jeans, News and Rock & Roll, broadcast on Antena 3, and she quickly became a familiar face in Spanish households. Her popularity grew rapidly after participating as a hostess in the legendary Un, dos, tres… responde otra vez, directed by Chicho Ibáñez Serrador.
