Julie Andrieu and Stéphane Delajoux: a love story marked by media storms

Today, the50 year old presenter lives a beautiful love story with Stéphane Delajouxeven if their start was not without pitfalls.

As a reminder, after having operated on Johnny Hallyday for a herniated disc, a post-operative infection came to overshadow the success of the intervention, triggering a media storm which fell on the doctor.

In 1997, Stéphane Delajoux saw his life turned upside down during a
ski outing in Val d'Isère. An off-piste skier, he suddenly fell into a ravine, falling thirteen meters. The shock was so intense that he thought for a moment he had lost the use of his legs, seeing himself paraplegic, according to Liberation. Against all odds, he got through it, but the after-effects still accompany him: insensitivity in the legs and buttocks, unsteady gaitunable to support himself on the front of his feet. “He has a lot of trouble walking, he’s had a lot of accidents and operations.”recalled Julie Andrieu.

So, when the
production of Dancing with the stars proposed to him to join the program,irony of the situation
did not escape the host and her husband. Amused by this incongruous idea, Jordan De Luxe even said with humor: “They don't
stop at nothing“.
