A few years ago, Marie-Sophie Lacarrau disappeared from the screens for a long period, following a serious illness. The presenter of the 1 p.m. news on TF1 had in fact contracted severe amoebic keratitisan extremely rare eye infection, which kept her off the air for more than five months.
This difficult and uncertain health battle forced her to reinvent her way of working. Upon her return in May 2022, the journalist therefore had to adapt to continue to practice her profession despite the after-effects of the disease.
“When I started coming back to the set to do tests and to test my eye, […] I could only tolerate 30% of the lights on set. There, I took a little blow to the head, saying to myself: 'Am I going to make it? Will it come back? Will I endure again?'”, she explained in We're doing TV again in June 2023. And to add: “There today, I'm at 80%.”
