Saying the name of Cristina Pedroche means that networks - and what are not networks - burn. He lives with it. At this point few know that the woman who now makes her dream - and not always in pink - came to television by chance, that her thing was something else or that from her head and from anyone's ever the idea that she was leaving to become the queen of the grapes without even wanting to . At her 10 years recently completed in this world of television, La Pedroche - as they affectionately call her - criticism and haters are brought to the pairo, and she has many, especially among women. If this vallecana of pure strain has demonstrated anything, it is that it has come to eat the world , and is eating it by mouthfuls, even if they make it as difficult as they want.

He does what he wants, you saw how he wants, he says what he wants ... Because the world belongs to the brave. Few television characters receive as much cane as she receives. For what he puts on, for what he says, for what he does, for what he eats, because he laughs, because he gets excited, because he goes on a trip, for whatever. If summer arrives and publishes a photograph of him on Instagram with a naked torso and looking tanned, criticism rains on all sides: that if "you have used Photoshop", that if what you are looking for is "controversy", that if "you just want to call the attention », that yes ... And in a matter of hours more than 111,000 likes. Why is it exposed in this way? Why does he do this? He has said it many times and he will not tire of repeating it: "What does what I stop teaching, showing, insinuating, covering, with my beliefs and with what I struggle have to do?" There is that.

It happens every year the day after presenting the grapes and leaving half of Spain stunned with its new model. «That people criticize more or less ... that's the same as always. I am part of this, ”she said after overcoming herself on the last New Year's Eve of Antena 3 with a suit that looked more like a bikini with flowers than a suit itself . Critics rained on all sides, as in previous years, but he achieved his goal: enjoy and burst the audience of Antena 3 on New Year's Eve. That is enough for him and he has no more, and if he sends the message that she wants, taking advantage of the pull , then better than better.

If someone could wear such a dress, present the grapes and mark the highest audience record of a New Year's Eve on a private network , that is La Pedroche . And if the presenter has done something, it is to turn grapes into an event, a success, but above all, a show. The reign of the cape and the hearts - with permission of Anne Igartiburu - is over , the times of La Pedroche have arrived.

Not only has he managed to break a tradition in Spanish homes - see the grapes in La 1-, but he has managed to keep talking about it days later, even months later. An achievement that has reported to Antena 3 succulent audience data and that has made it a fixed one of the most special night of the year. With this data, how are you not going to present them again? She confirmed it a few days ago: she will present the grapes again this year. Surely many are already rubbing their hands.

They say that if it weren't for the dresses worn out, it wouldn't be there. She does not deny it. If Cristina Pedroche is something, she is sincere: «For better or worse, I have built an event. It is no longer just eating the grapes, but also criticizing me, ”he confessed in El Hormiguero, which is also the turn-by-mouth interview before D-Day arrives. And reason is not lacking. Either because of the dress, either because it has become a tradition for her husband, chef Dabiz Muñoz, to wear the dress from the previous year, or because of the message that accompanies La Pedroche New Year's Eve, the hostess has transformed the last night of the year at the time of the year. Absolute success.

That the topic of conversation in the homes of millions of Spaniards - exactly more than 4 million, according to the data of audiences of the bells of 2018 - before and after eating the grapes is her and nothing more than her is an achievement that few -Not to say any- can add to your resume. She knows it, she is aware and it seems that she will continue to do so until the body endures or until she can stand the innumerable criticisms , those that go from when the dress was horrifying, going through leaving nothing to the imagination, until how dare he release a feminist discourse so dressed.

«I am a lady in all ways and with transparency you can also be a lady. I am a free woman who decides what to wear every day, and that's it ». You can say it louder, but not clearer. La Pedroche is an expert in reversing criticism, in turning evil into something useful, in not falling into the mud or letting what others say makes life bitter. Pa 'out the bad .

With that philosophy of life it is difficult for Cristina Pedroche to lose her smile. You just have to take a look at your social networks to see the joy and good vibes with which you live. She has learned to paraperse herself, she has learned that how they are going to criticize them all, because it is best to pass Olympic and use animadversion for some profit.

According to a study by the Personality Media consultancy conducted in 2018 for Atresmedia, Cristina Pedroche approves and with a note in the category of the best-known, most modern, most attractive and most suitable television characters to advertise. However, La Pedroche represents the two sides of the coin: it is known by 96% of the Spanish population and occupies the ninth place in the ranking of the most famous presenters, but at the same time it is one of the worst valued by women . One of lime and another of sand.

That New Year's Eve and all that entails have made him one of the most famous characters on the Spanish television scene, without a doubt, but Cristina Pedroche is much more than a New Year's Eve dress, that croquettes with his name or that the last Yoga posturitas shared on Instagram. La Pedroche is no fool with a heart attack, La Pedroche is a self-made woman who one day tried her luck on television and played the flute.

Bachelor of Business Administration and Management and Tourism from the Rey Juan Carlos University , she made her first steps as a model until in 2009 she made her debut as a reporter in the EATV videogames channel of the Electronic Arts studio. And from there to replace the face of the moment, Pilar Rubio herself in I know what you did , in La Sexta. Cover of large magazines, radio announcer, the first Spanish woman to exceed one million followers on Twitter, Zapeando , where she has been a permanent collaborator since 2013, Pekin Express (2016), You are worth it (2017), Within ... Ten years carving a future on television, ten years to become more than a face and it seems that there will be Pedroche for a while . At the end of 2018, the presenter confirmed that she has renewed her long-term contract with Atresmedia.

Cristina Pedroche has become her own brand, a very profitable brand that not only includes her contract with Antena 3 - separate champagnes - but succulent advertising campaigns with big brands - the last one with Pepsi Max Zero - that represent large revenues. Income that the golden girl of television has invested with head and with love becoming a capitalist partner of two of her husband's restoration businesses, with whom she has been married for four years, DiverXO and StreetXO , and wind in the stern. At the moment, they do not think of children, they like it, but prefer "those of others." Now just think about enjoying it, your partner and your work.

«I receive up to five or six job offers a day, sometimes more. I refuse many, because when you say no, you go further, ”he said long ago. The head always well placed and always with the feet on the ground and in its origins. "I could not spend 3,000 euros on a purse, I would laugh at many Spaniards," he said on more than one occasion. Humble origins of which he always speaks proud and of which he has never reneged.

«I come from a humble family . Although my parents have always killed themselves to give me their best, I had to work if I wanted certain things. From the age of 16 I was a saleswoman, I put on drinks at night, I made a flight attendant ... ».

It is one of the many statements that a few days ago I threw in an interview in the magazine Hello! on the occasion of his 10 years on television and, again, he did not leave anyone indifferent, and again the controversy, and again she at the disparadero: «My father is unemployed, but he has very little left to retire. Now I have him as an errand boy. My mother keeps cleaning in a school ». And as in almost everything the interview does, he stayed in this headline. A statement with which the presenter highlighted what workers have been and are their parents. ... And now "they stay alone and happy." Maybe, a whole declaration of intent .

His stellar moment with ...

Alberto Chicote

Undoubtedly the time of Cristina Pedroche this year has been the grapes. Accompanied by Alberto Chicote, the presenter made an audience record on a private television with her dress. "That would be put to the very Beyoncé", formed by two parts made of flowers and two tails of pink tulle. A "kind of bikini" that garnered numerous criticisms, but she loved it.
