Sophie Davant is an emblematic figure of television. After several years at the head of the show Deal Done, she ultimately decided to leave the program. It is on the antenna of Europe 1, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. that we can now find her, in her daily program called Sophie & the Friends. However, Sophie Davant made her comeback on television, Saturday January 20, 2024. The host is at the head of an animal program entitled In good company and broadcast on Saturdays on France 3. A new challenge for her but one in which she takes part with great pleasure. In the columns of Tele-Leisure a few hours before the first broadcast, Sophie Davant made some confidences on this subject. She first regretted the fact that “the public service no longer devotes programs to animals and it was a real lack”. So, when Stéphane Sitbon-Gomez, the program director, spoke to her about this project, the host immediately accepted. “I have always found it natural to come and work with my animals“she confided, specifying that Raoul, her Havanese, is by her side “everywhere for three years. He took his first steps on the set of Affaire concluded”.
Sophie Davant: a presenter passionate about animals
Sophie Davant says she will take on this challenge with pleasure. Hosting a program about animals was an obvious choice for the 60-year-old presenter. “It’s a world that I know well since I have always had animals since my earliest childhood in the Bordeaux region.“, she declares. For this new program, the production decided not to film in the capital’s studios. “It’s about forty kilometers from Paris, in a farm that has been restored” for the filming to take place. An initiative that Sophie Davant wished to salute. “It’s nice to be outside the capital, in a rural environment. In any case, I can tell you that Raoul is living his best life”, she rejoiced, thus revealing that her little dog is by her side in all circumstances. For the moment, twenty programs have been ordered by the channel. If the audiences are there, Sophie Davant says she is up for a second season. “I never considered stopping doing TV.” she concluded.
