Pedroche was born in Madrid on 30 October 1988.^[2] For a while she combined her studies in Business Administration and Management and Tourism at King Juan Carlos University^[3] with her work on television as a reporter. She rose to fame in 2010 when she joined the daily comedy show Sé lo que hicisteis... on LaSexta^[4] as a TV reporter until 2011. From August 2011 to June 2012 she worked as a reporter in the daily comedy show Otra movida.^[5] In March 2010, she was on the cover of the Spanish FHM magazine.^[6]

In September 2012, she joined radio program Yu, no te pierdas nada as a collaborator, on Los 40.^[7][8][9] In December 2013, she joined the daily TV comedy show Zapeando, hosted by Frank Blanco on LaSexta.^[10] In April 2014, Pedroche participated in the 'water war' segment of the show with Frank Blanco. Pedroche also used the show as a platform to raise awareness for ALS by participating in the Ice Bucket Challenge.

In December 2014, it was announced that she had signed a golden handcuffs contract with Atresmedia, owners of LaSexta.^[11] She also hosted the 2014-2015 New Year's Eve's Twelve Grapes broadcast for LaSexta alongside Frank Blanco, wearing a much commented upon transparent dress.^[12] During this show she participated in a 'champagne war' with Frank Blanco, a new year play on the previous 'water war'.

Pedroche moved to Antena 3 for the 2015/16 Twelve Grapes, hosting with Carlos Sobera and since 2016 with Alberto Chicote, repeating the stir caused by her dress.^[17] Pedroche's dress has since become an institution in its own right, being hidden until the night,^[18] and usually revealed right before the first bell to maximise ratings at midnight.^[19] She and Chicote led the night's ratings continuously from 2020/21 until 2023/24.^[20]
