Émilien is only a few participations away from 12 Midday shots before reaching one million euros. The 21-year-old young man, who has held the position of midday master since September 2023, has become a real television star. The breadth of his knowledge and his ability to remain focused, even in moments of stress, greatly impress TF1 viewers. So much so that he is even recognized in the street when he is not in the middle of filming! This is what he revealed this Friday, May 10, to Jean-Luc Reichmann during his 228th participation in the game. And he confided that his girlfriend, Jessica, has also become a minor celebrity. “She is very recognizable. More and more, both of us are recognized.”
Jessica, Emilien’s companion (The 12 strokes of noon) is very often recognized in the street
Since his first appearances on the show, Émilien has been accompanied, often by videoconference, by his partner, Jessica. A young woman that fans of the show have gotten to know and who has made a real place for herself in the game. So much so that viewers no longer really dissociate Émilien from Jessica. “Often I see people turning on me when I’m all alone [dans la rue], they bug a little: ‘Is that really him?’ But, on the other hand, when she is next to me, she serves as confirmation, she serves as validation! They ask themselves the question, they see it aside and they say to themselves: ‘Ah yes, it’s them!’”

Émilien should soon beat Bruno Hourcade’s record in The 12 strokes of noon
If Émilien continues his momentum, he will very soon overtake the reigning champion of the midi masters, Bruno Hourcade, who had participated 252 times in the show and won 1,026,107 euros in prize pool. Unless Émilien meets a strong opponent, he should beat the record in the coming weeks, since at the end of this Friday’s show, where he achieved a masterstroke at 10,000 euros, his winnings reached 975,844 euros. “It’s not really a goal. Since the beginning that I have been here, I don’t set any goals for myself. I know it’s quite hard to be on a show.” he admitted recently.
