A little apprehension for everyone
First reaction of all the participants of this anniversary season: the astonishment at a whole new face. The 36-year-old young woman, straight from Canal +, took over the program following the departure of Julia Vignali for France Télévisions. “As candidates, we wondered how she was and how she was going to react“, remembers the thirty-something living in Seine-Saint-Denis.

The person we see on TV is quite her, it is not played at all“, continues the baker in the making. And to add:”He is a whole and very kind person, even off the cameras. She doesn’t make movies. She is incredible ! She made me laugh a lot. I had a great feeling with her, I appreciate her a lot. It is one of my most beautiful encounters of Best pastry chef.” If the wife of Grégoire Ludig is unanimous in the hearts of the candidates, she nevertheless suffers criticism from some Internet users, in particular on her talkativeness. Remarks that saddened Mohamed. “Every week I read reviews on her, I don’t find that normal. It disappointed me“, he comments soberly, remembering their long discussions about his children. A real cream, this Mohamed.
