Jean-Pierre Foucault ousted from Miss France? The presenter responds bluntly

On September 9, the magazine Here is reveals that Jean-Pierre Foucault will no longer present the competition of Miss France. The one who has presented the program since 1995 on TF1 would therefore no longer be part of it after the 2023 edition of the beauty contest. “Although very popular with the public, for whom he is inseparable from the beauty contest, he would be considered too old for the program by Alexia Laroche-Joubert, who wishes to blow a breath of fresh air on the institution” writes people magazine. Before specifying that he was therefore “evicted in turn” by Alexia Laroche-Joubertthe new president of the Miss France committee.

This information obviously did not fall on deaf ears. The famous 74-year-old host therefore decided to respond to these rumors once and for all. And the least we can say is that these still seem to annoy him a little. Jean-Pierre Foucault therefore benefited from an interview with Guillaume Genton, in Le Morning without filterto make things clear.

Jean-Pierre Foucault: “In 20 years, it won’t be me”

Jean-Pierre Foucault therefore answered to the rumors launched by the magazine Here. “The first info is “evicted in turn”, which means that someone else would have been ousted while Sylvie Tellier and Alexia Laroche-Joubert have always said that it was done together ok, so first mistake” he explains first. ”Second important thing for Here, and I frankly want to congratulate them, is that it’s been ten years since they announced that I will make my last presentation to Miss France. So, one day or another, they will be right!” he scoffed. Jean-Pierre Foucault explained that he had many meetings with Alexia Laroche-Joubert. “We work in a world of well-mannered people and, if that had been the case, I would have been informed of it by the Miss France society and by TF1” he specified without being able to say with certainty if he was going to present Miss France after the 2023 edition. “I don’t know, every year we decide by mutual agreement and my news is to present Miss France 2023 in Châteauroux. It’s still a little early to talk about what will happen in one or two years. he adds. Before concluding with: “In 20 years, it won’t be me.” He will leave the antenna one day, but not this year. The president of the Miss France committee on her side confirmed that she had no intention of parting ways with the famous presenter. Case closed.
