An essential face of TF1 since her recruitment in 2018, Camille Combal first made herself known on C8. Arriving on the Canal+ group channel in 2012, the presenter joined Cyril Hanouna’s team in Do not touch My TV, where he played a daily humorous column that usually closed the show. Gaining popularity over the seasons, Camille Combal began to present her own shows on C8, in parallel with her column in TPMP. At the time, the one who embodies Dance with the stars since his arrival on TF1 had revealed that he was suffering from an eye disease. “It’s a genetic disease, which I was born with, which can be quite common, which it was not at all possible to treat before. Today, they are getting there with corneal transplants”he indicated in the columns of Parisian in 2015. If Camille Combal has already had surgery to treat his left eye, he must now be patient so that his right eye is also treated.
Camille Combal: “As soon as there is a compatible donor, I will go to the operating room”
“I had a cornea transplant and I’m waiting for another for my right eye. It’s something very important. […] Once you put yourself on the transplant list, you just have to wait. As soon as there is a compatible donor, I will go to the operating room.”he revealed during his appearance on the show We’re doing TV again, in September 2023 on RTL. While waiting to find this famous compatible donor, Camille Combal must respect a certain number of rules to maintain her place on the list of organ seekers. “There is a charter when you receive an organ from someone. For me, it’s the eyes, well, I must not go diving, I must not fight with anyone in the streetetc. […] I have the other eye to transplant. Both my eyes are affected so I have to do the second one.”underlined the host of Mask Singer. Camille Combal also explained how this genetic disease hinders him in the exercise of his profession. “It bothers me when it comes to photophobia. When I had my transplant, I was in the middle of PMDD season. […] I had to wear dark glasses for a year on TV because of photophobia.”said the former incarnation of Virgin Radio’s morning show.
