“I’m a little bit stressed”: Valentina talks about her presentation of Junior Eurovision 2024 alongside Stéphane Bern

The young Valentina, who won Junior Eurovision in 2020 with her song J'imagine, returns to the world of the competition this Saturday, November 16. This time, she will not go on stage to sing, but will comment on the event alongside Stéphane Bern.

For the first time, Valentina will participate in the comments of l’Eurovision Junior 2024 in the company of Stéphane Bern, a task that she is preparing to accomplish with enthusiasm.

But how does she feel about returning to the competition, this time in a different role than that of a singer?

“I'm a little stressed, but I can't wait. I think it's great to be able to try a new exercise. I've never done it and I really like Stéphane Bern, so it's going to be great!” she told us before returning to her preparation for tonight's show. “Yesterday was the Jury Show, so I obviously watched the show. I also found out about the candidates and practiced my speaking a bit. I hope everything goes well. Fingers crossed!” she told us. The 15-year-old girl revealed to us a little technique that she uses to try to de-stress before going on stage: “Usually I try to think of something else. I jump around everywhere. In general, I chat with people, I laugh a little, so this evening, I might do the same by chatting with Stéphane Bern. I think he will be able to reassure me“, she told us. As for Titouan, the former candidate of l’Eurovision Junior 2020 has already met the representative of France for 2024: “I saw him last year in Nice, he was present when Zoé Clauzure won the competition, so we have already gotten to know each other. I get along very well with him, and I think his song is particularly well chosen. I'm a real fan of his voice (…) he's very energetic. I am convinced that we have every chance!” she assured us.

The host of History Secrets told us that he was particularly happy to present the show alongside the former participant of l’Eurovision Junior. “I'm delighted that it's Valentina co-presenting with me, really. I want her to be able to tell us about her experiences because, unlike me, she knows what it's like. She knows what it feels like to take the exam.” he told us.
