But where has Bertrand Chameroy gone? This is what France 5 viewers asked themselves on Wednesday November 6. On this day of the result of the American presidential election, the troublemaker of C to you would nevertheless have had all the material to deliver its topical pastille with a humorous sauce. Only here, he never got on the air.
Shortly before 8 p.m., at the end of the first part of the live broadcast, Anne-Élisabeth Lemoine announced her arrival as usual in the second part. “We will have Bertrand's news with a surprise this evening!” even teased the journalist, who we know is very complicit with her columnist. Except that at the end of the program, instead of the thirty-year-old, we discovered another dark-haired man, Lorrain Sénéchal. And his fans had to be content with an amusing parade to find out the reasons for his replacement at the boot.
“So shocked (by the elections, editor's note) that Bertrand Chameroy disappeared. Suspicion of kidnapping by fat lobbies. We investigate, we try to find him”, said Lorrain. A little later, Babeth first cracked a “Hoping that Bertrand will be back tomorrow, until then we kiss him”, then finally added during the broadcast: “Tomorrow, we meet Bertrand again. We hope he gets better.”
Tensions in the duo
The next day, the latter in fact reappeared on the screen without the slightest explanation, and carried out his column as if nothing had happened. Move along, there's nothing to see! And yet, according to our exclusive information, behind the scenes, nothing has been resolved… The atmosphere between the presenter and Bertrand Chameroy is still particularly tense. “It was she who refused to allow him to appear on the air at the last moment on November 6”, explains an internal source. Could there be water in the gas in this cathode tandem? Obviously yes!
The duo, who have been very close for a year and a half, have been less so lately. And these dissensions would also begin to seriously impact the show. “Anne-Élisabeth is not always easy, confirms our source. At one time, she had difficulty with Émilie Tran Nguyen. There was also a time of tension with Patrick Cohen.”
Will things end up getting better with his columnist? For that, they would probably have to find their complicity again. Come on, please us: It’s up to you… to play!
