Viewers will have to get used to it! From Monday August 28, 2023, Julia Vignali will present the auction program Deal done broadcast on France 2. If the faithful of the show had a hard time saying goodbye to Sophie Davant, who hosted the famous show for the past six years, the companion of Kad Merad seemed ready to carry out her mission in front of our colleagues from the Parisian Sunday, August 27, 2023. During the interview, the former host of Telematin revealed that this passing of the torch had delighted his companion, Kad Merad. “We are renovating an old house, he told me that we would need beautiful objects”said the fortiesbefore revealing in a humorous tone: “I told him it wasn’t our place to buy them!”. Gathered in front of journalists from the Ile-de-France daily, Sophie Davant and Julia Vignali preferred to break the ice right away: “I saw more than 10,000 objects go by. I became an expert in Gallé vases and 19th century bronzes”, explained the host of 60 years. Despite this, this expertise has not instilled in him the love of flea markets, which “too reminiscent of work!”.
A pleasure shared by the couple
Indeed, hosting a show with a very specific theme does not make you a great enthusiast. For her part, Julia Vignali returned to the stage of her professional career during which she had animated The Best Pastry Chef for four seasons for the channel M6. “I hosted a baking show and I don’t know how to bake a cake”she revealed during her confidences. As a result, it is easy to understand that Luigi’s mother was not chosen to replace Sophie Davant thanks to her love for objects prized by antique dealers. Asked by TV Star Friday, August 25, 2023, the 48-year-old journalist said, full of irony: “I have no passion for antiques, except for my husband!”, before announcing: “On the other hand, I have a real passion for those who bring the objects. To animate Deal doneyou have to love people”. One thing is certain, it is that Julia Vignali is delighted to leave Telematinshow she judged “incompatible […] with family life, couple life, social life…” due to his very early hours.
