Two new columnists in TPMP in September
“There is no discomfort or anger. We are still very good friends with Cyril. But by mutual agreement, we thought it would be good to take a break,” says the former host of loft storywho has been the replacement for Cyril Hanouna several times.
This departure follows that of another pillar of TPMP, Mathieu Delormeau, who announced in May that he was leaving C8’s flagship program “definitively”, accustomed to controversy, which earned him multiple warnings and sanctions from Arcom (ex-CSA) against C8 .
At the start of the school year, two new columnists will join the team of TPMP: TV hosts Évelyne Thomas and Alex Goude. Referring to his future, Benjamin Castaldi speaks of a “goodbye” and specifies that he has “no short or long-term TV project”. “I always want to come back with a game or entertainment. That’s what I do best. If someone calls me, I’ll answer,” he says.
Benjamin Castaldi devotes himself to a show
For the time being, he intends to devote himself to Cabin 21 show inspired by an intimate and yet well-known episode in the life of her grandmother, the actress Simone Signoret.
When she moved to the United States in the 1960s with her husband, actor and singer Yves Montand, he had an affair with Hollywood star Marylin Monroe. The play, expected in September in Paris, is written by Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt. The roles of the two women will be played by Emmanuelle and Mathilde Seigner, actresses and sisters in the city for whom this is the first collaboration.
