Valérie Damidot: this very gloomy place where the host ate her snack when she was little

With such anecdotes, we understand better why Valérie Damidot embarked on a one-woman-show. Long before being a very popular animator thanks to her verve, the decoration pro had an amazing childhood. Finally, it is especially the place where she took her snack as a young girl that is surprising. From the earliest age, Valérie Damidot spent time… in the cell! This is what she revealed on Wednesday March 9 at the microphone of Culture Media on Europe 1. And for good reason, his dad was a policeman. A very demanding job. So inevitably, he was not available every day to pick up his daughter after school, at 4:30 p.m.

“I was small, in first grade, because afterwards I managed to get back by bus on my own. I would walk to the police station in the town where I was at school. Either my father was there, or he wasn’t there, or he was under investigation.“, remembers the one who thinned out in front of Philippe Vandel. If dad was coaling, Valérie Damidot, she took advantage of the end of the class to have her snack. From the time that the former presenter of D&Co spent in very specific conditions. “I was put either in his office or (if he was in his office) in a small custody cell to eat my snack“, she explains, before specifying from the outset: “The thugs were in the other cell, they didn’t put me in the thugs’ cell! My father was a cop, he wasn’t crazy either! Sometimes it’s compatible, but in this case, no. But yes, I ate my little BN quiet in my little cell“. A fun anecdote to say the least.

This link between the father of Valérie Damidot and prince Philip

This is not the first time that this mother of two children evokes her childhood with her father. He even had the honor of being linked to the British royal family. “He worked as a gem setter at Van Cleef & Arpels, it was he who crimped the sword of King George, worn by Prince Philip“, revealed not without pride Valérie Damidot, to our colleagues from Gala last May. His father then decided to take the police inspector competition. “He was an atypical cop. In his entire career, he has never used his weapon or used force“, assures the companion of Régis Viogeat, and to remember: “He was friends with all the Gypsies, his friend was Vidal [Edmond, le chef du gang des Lyonnais dans les années 70, NDLR]we ate with them in their camp. Every weekend there were people at home“. Something to create heaps of memories, each crazier than the next.
