IN BRIEF

• Valérie Bénaïm has been absent from “On marche sur la tête” and “Touche pas àamp;agrave; mon poste” for several weeks due to an operation.
• During a program on Europe 1, a misunderstanding about Valérie Bénaïm provoked laughter from Cyril Hanouna and the columnists.
• Cyril Hanouna regularly reassures the public about the health of Valérie Bénaïm, stating that she “is getting better and better”.

Her absence is felt. For several weeks, Valérie Bénaïm has left On marche sur la tête on Europe 1 and Touche pas àamp;agrave; mon poste on C8. Her absence is due to a health problem. Indeed, she has been diagnosed with a disease that “&enduary makes one deaf”. She therefore had an operation and is now recovering.

Despite the absence of his columnist, Cyril Hanouna is still present on Europe 1. On Thursday, January 23, he spoke with several listeners. Among them, Brigitte, who told him : “I am very happy to have you because I watch you every night, your show is great”.

A listener creates confusion around Valérie Bénaïm

After his exchange with Brigitte, Cyril Hanouna said goodbye to her to hang up. His listener, however, wanted to pass on a message. “I would like to give a little kiss to my friend Valérie” she said. The host then replied: “Valérie Bénaïm ! So if you can speak a little louder, Brigitte, when you kiss Valérie…”.

If this attention delighted the host, it was followed by the silence of his listener. She then indicated to him that she wasn't talking about Valérie Bénaïm but about “Valérie Bonnet”, a friend of hers. Enough to trigger laughter from Cyril Hanouna, Géraldine Maillet and the other columnists. Visibly embarrassed by this misunderstanding, the host then added : “Well, we kiss Valérie Bonnet”.

Cyril Hanouna often gives news of his friend

The lunar sequence between Cyril Hanouna and his listener is not really surprising. Indeed, since the beginning of the absence of Valérie Bénaïm, Lino and Bianca's father has been regularly questioned on her health.

On Tuesday, January 21, the columnist's friend thus gave news of her in Touche pas à mon poste. “She's getting better and better! I call her every day” he assured his viewers. Encouraging news even if the journalist is not yet ready to make his comeback on radio and television.
