This Monday, December 27, Nelson Monfort and Philippe Candeloro will make a guest appearance in Joséphine, guardian angel. The two sidekicks, however, were not paid for their participation.
Mimie Mathy refuses nothing. For 25 years, the actress has been the star of the series Josephine, guardian angel on TF1. A very rare longevity for a French series. Obviously, the guests jostle at the gate to make an appearance in the program which often breaks audience records on the small screen. This Monday, December 27, viewers will thus discover a new episode called “Skates of Hope“. In this new adventure, the character of Joséphine Delamarre finds herself on the track of an ice rink as a sports trainer. She’s gonna have to face Gabriel, a figure skating trainer require, played by Jean-Luc Reichmann. And who says figure skating, says competition. The production of the famous series then had the idea of call on Nelson Monfort and Philippe Candeloro to play as referees. Roles they know well since they have commented on numerous figure skating competitions for France Télévisions.
“We ask them to choose an association”
It is therefore a real gift for Mimie Mathy. “It’s a super friendly little nod because it’s a competition for the rink to continue to receive its subsidies, she confided to the microphone of Europe 1. We asked them like that, saying to each other : ‘are they going to say yes or no?’ And they said yes right away, heartily and graciously, I want to make it clear “. The 64-year-old actress also took the opportunity to reveal that Nelson Monfort and Philippe Candeloro were not not the only guests to have played for free in an episode of Josephine, guardian angel. It is even a tradition for the famous series of TF1. “When we bring in personalities like that, we ask them to choose an association to which the production donates“, she explained. A very nice gesture on the part of the teams of the program but also of the stars invited in each episode.
