From May to September 1997, Senovilla appeared on national television for the first time when she was selected as an alternate for Ana García Lozano, who was on maternity leave from the talk show Ana.

In January 2003, due to poor results that Antena 3 had obtained after Senovilla's departure with the morning program ', the network's directors decided to bring her back on to host Como la vida in an attempt to regain its audience.The show, in this new stage, devoted special attention to celebrity gossip. Nevertheless, Senovilla failed to surpass the ratings of her rival on Telecinco, María Teresa Campos, reaching a share of 17.9% in September 2003. Como la vida was canceled at the end of that season, at the same time that Antena 3 signed Campos to host its morning program.
