Belinda María Washington Baca, this is her full and real name , was born in 1965 in the United Kingdom. She was born as a result of the relationship between a Scottish father and her mother from Malaga.

Although she is known for her work as an actress and presenter, the truth is that her training was very far from show business, since she studied Law and Public Relations.

Despite everything, Belinda managed to get into the world of communication, debuting in 1991 with Jesús Hermida on Antena 3. Those years in the San Sebastián de los Reyes channel helped her make a name for herself among the viewers of the time, but his big break would come in 1995.

In that year, she made the leap to Telecinco, a chain in which she became one of the pioneers of heart programs as we know them now thanks to ‘Qué me dices’. That space was the germ of ‘Aquí hay tomate’, ‘Tómbola’ and ‘Sálvame’.

Along with his partner Chapis, he formed one of the best-known couples on television, something that years later Jorge Javier Vázquez and Carmen Alcayde would repeat with the same formula on the same schedule with ‘el tomate’.

After leaving the heart program, Mediaset trusted her for programs such as ‘Telecupón’, replacing Carmen Sevilla, and as the main presenter of the magazine ‘De domingo a domingo’, where she shared space with Patxi Alonso .

It was at that moment that he discovered that the world of painting and music were his two great hobbies, leading to the creation of a jazz band. Although he has not been in highly successful formats since the early 2000s, he has continued to present programs on regional channels such as Telemadrid, Canal Nou and Castilla-La Mancha Televisión.

FOCUSED ON THEATER AS AN ACTRESS

For years Belinda Washington has lived away from television, as she has focused on her career as an actress, especially in the world of theater, where she has represented ‘La casa de Bernarda Alba’ and is an acting teacher.

Her return to popularity came thanks to her role in ‘Paquita Salas’. The Javis series returned her to stardom as an unexpected Netflix star. In 2021 she would dare as a contestant on ‘Your face sounds familiar’, where she shared the stage with Agoney , Rasel and Eva Soriano , among others.
