Biography edit

Born in Malveira, a small village of Mafra Municipality, 40 km from Lisbon, in 1977, Ferreira graduated in History and taught it for a few years. Her parents were merchants in local fairs across the region.[3] She graduated in journalism and had prominent television presenters Manuel Luís Goucha and Júlia Pinheiro as her teachers. She began her television career on TVI, having hosted the daily "extra" Big Brother and the news show Diário da Manhã. From 2004 to 2018, she and Goucha hosted the morning talk show Você na TV!.[4] During this period, Ferreira gained status as one of the most high-profile celebrities in Portugal.

From 2012 to 2018, Ferreira hosted the prime-time show A Tua Cara Não Me é Estranha, along with Goucha.[5] In 2017, she began hosting the show Apanha Se Puderes - which is still on air, as of February 2019 -, which was taped until Ferreira moved to rival TV station SIC, in the second half of 2018. This deal was the most heavily publicised TV transference in Portugal in more than a decade.

In January 2019, Ferreira began hosting her first programme on SIC, the morning show O Programa da Cristina, which now competes with the show she co-hosted before, Você na TV!, which is still hosted by Goucha, along with a new co-host, Maria Cerqueira Gomes. With O Programa da Cristina, SIC led the morning ratings for the first time in fourteen years.

In the summer of 2020, Ferreira returned to TVI.

She has a son with António Casinhas, a now-retired football player. She is a supporter of the football club S.L. Benfica.[6]
