Anne Igartiburu is stepping into a bold new chapter, embracing a challenge she has never attempted before. The popular host will swap her familiar role for a different kind of spotlight as the face of a weekend edition on TVE’s La 1, taking on a contestant’s seat in the tenth season of Tu cara me suena. The opportunity came from a longtime collaborator, and a reunion is on the horizon: Anna Camprubí, a Gestmusic producer who previously worked with Igartiburu on Look Who’s Dancing, is at the helm of this fresh collaboration.
Igartiburu recalled a memorable past collaboration with Gestmusic, describing it as a standout experience that felt like polishing a high-performance engine. When contacted about the new project, she expressed curiosity and a readiness to explore, noting that her current weekend commitments would not clash with this weekday role. She emphasized the energy and excitement the team brings, highlighting notable figures such as Tinet Rubira and an excellent coaching crew. The sentiment was clear: the upcoming journey promises both fun and learning as she tackles the challenge of joining the Antena 3 program.
Igartiburu also shared that she already had a sense of the show’s trajectory, anticipating the tenth edition of Tu cara me suena and hinting at an imminent rehearsal period. The plan is to begin recording within a few weeks, a timeline that reflects the fast-paced rhythm typical of live performance programs.
Asked about the kind of artist she would most like to emulate, the presenter reflected on an era rich with musical diversity. She jokingly paused to acknowledge her own nostalgia, noting she is drawn to a variety of sounds and is comfortable with Latin influences as well as English tunes. The idea was less about a single impersonation and more about the living experience that comes with such a performance—dressing up, singing, and embodying the moment with professional support around every move. Igartiburu underscored that this venture is more about the experience and the camaraderie than just the destination, and she expressed confidence in the capable team surrounding the production. She also suggested there is a natural ease with Josie and Susi Caramelo, who will contribute to the season in distinct ways.
On another note, Igartiburu touched on a related project, The 10 Minutes program on Telemadrid, which is set to return for a second season. She described a strong sense of completion and the fulfillment of long-held ambitions, explaining that exploring new formats has been a consistent goal. The experience of conducting interviews on social platforms like Instagram has reinforced her desire to participate in carefully produced studio formats with a trusted producer, bringing a grounded, thoughtful approach to television writing and performance.
