In September 2023, many French television presenters changed shows. On the program side Deal done, broadcast on France 2, host Sophie Davant abandoned bargain hunters and second-hand dealers to start her new radio show on Europe 1, Sophie & Les Copains. To replace her, Julia Vignali left Telematin to take orders for the auction program. A new role that seems to fascinate Kad Merad’s wife. Questioned by our colleagues from Evening Mag during an interview published on Wednesday September 27, 2023, the presenter however mentioned a very strict rule put in place by the channel, which she nevertheless manages to circumvent. If Luigi’s mother admitted to falling for it “very regularly” for certain items, she revealed that the regulations prohibited purchasing them.
“When you think about it, it’s completely normal”
To avoid deviations from the very strict rules of the show, which she nevertheless admitted not having read, the 48-year-old host guaranteed that she had found an infallible solution to achieve her ends. “What I do is when I see an item that I like and I can’t acquire it through the show, I take a photo of it. Then I ask our casting director what it is, I look it up on the internet and try to find the same one!“she proudly explained to our colleagues at Evening Mag. If she made it clear that the rule was quite restrictive, Julia Vignali is a good student. Indeed, the mother assured that she understood the reasons for its implementation. “When you think about it, it’s completely normal. If an object catches my eye, the buyer could sell it to me cheaper, so there is a conflict of interest“, she explained. Beyond her natural charisma, Julia Vignali is very ingenious and it seems that she is capable of all stratagems to succeed in obtaining what she wants. His colleagues who attend the appraisals of the objects for a possible auction take care, they must not underestimate the presenter who is standing in front of them!
