In the specific case of Karmele, her verbal confrontations with Jesús Mariñas, one of her collegues on set, became famous, just as much as his then famous phrase “shut up, Karmele!” (Spanish: "¡que te calles Karmele!"). In 2002 the journalist was protagonist of a well-known scandal caused by her accusations of fraud against the actress and presenter Carmen Sevilla, related to her participation in a Disabled Care Foundation. It ended with a judicial ruling of the Provincial Court of Madrid in which the journalist was sentenced for illegitimate interference with the right to honour. In March 2009, the Supreme Court confirmed the judgement of the Provincial Court of Madrid stating that the journalist had not been able to prove the extreme accusations expressed in her article. Karmele was sentenced to pay €6000 in compensation to Carmen Sevilla and Sevilla was forced to allocate that money for charitable purposes, as she announced in her lawsuit.

Other collaborations, Telecinco and Sálvame

After the cancellation of Tómbola, Karmele continued her career in nationwide channels, collaborating in celebrity gossip programs such as Como la vida (2003-2004), on Antena 3, or on Telecinco: Día a día (2004), by María Teresa Campos, TNT (2004-2007), by Jordi González or A tu Lado (2004-2007), by Emma García. Temporada Alta, program of the Balearic regional channel IB3, also stands out.

In 2008, she participated in the survival show Supervivientes (in English: Survivors), which Telecinco also broadcasts. The journalist was sometimes reprehended by the other contestants due to her physical condition and her peculiar personality, especially during group challenges. Karmele was the 6th eliminated from the competition, while Miriam Sánchez would later be the winner.

In 2009, she began collaborating as fellow guest in the program Sálvame (in English: "Save Me"), presented by Jorge Javier Vázquez, from Telecinco. However, she left the program in March 2011, due to the many disagreements with her teammates on set, the most controversial being her disputes with her co-worker Mila Ximénez. During her professional phase in the program, Karmele contributed, as well as with her journalistic experience, with comic moments such as her admission to the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest (see section). A few months later she returns to Sálvame and tried to fix the disagreements with her teammates, but in 2016 she definitively left the program.

She worked as a celebrity interviewer in the program La Noria (2008-2012) until it was cancelled due to lack of advertisers.

On July 16, 2013, Karmele began participating in the new competition on Telecinco called Campamento de Verano. The reality show was presented by Joaquín Prat from the central studios of Mediaset España/Telecinco and co-hosted by Sonia Ferrer from the Sierra de Gredos.
