Since Tuesday May 12, 2020, Eric is back in The 12 noon shots sure TF1. Confined with his relatives in Brittany, the designer-designer was hampered in his victorious journey by the crisis linked to the Covid-19. The first chain has indeed stopped shooting for several weeks. In order not to deprive viewers of the flagship game of midday, the production has chosen to repost Paul's first steps on the show. But as soon as the confinement came out, Eric was called back to take his place. "We have obtained a special exemption to allow our midday master Eric, to come from Brittany, and to be physically with us: we found him accommodation next to the studio, we don't get closer than 2.50 m to each other ", revealed Jean-Luc Reichmann in the columns of Parisian. If the shooting conditions were changed drastically, the Breton quickly resumed his good habits and chained the victories.
Eric is determined to dethrone Christian Quesada
These successes allow Lorient to swell its already rich kitty of more than 840,000 euros, but which also cost it. Indeed, if the French are now free to move and move around without certification, the midday master is still in a special situation. "I am confined to Paris during the entire shooting session which will last 3 weeks maximum", reveals the candidate to Parisian. The latter is also denied the right to visits and cannot return to Brittany on weekends. But the one Jean-Luc Reichmann likes to call "FantastErix" is ready to make these sacrifices because his objective remains the same: to dethrone Christian Quesada and become the greatest noon master. For the moment he is still at 23 participations of the absolute record. "Losing is out of the question", he says.
