During Koh Lanta, the adventurers live among themselves on small islands in the middle of nature. For his part, Denis Brogniart is living a completely different luxury adventure. Indeed, the host of TF1 is housed in a starred establishment with all the comforts possible, very close to heavenly beaches. By answering questions from readers of the Parisianhe says more about his filming conditions and tells an incredible anecdote!
The facts date back to 2016, when ALP (Adventure Line Productions) recorded the images of Koh-Lanta, the treasure island in Cambodia (an edition won by Benoît). Authorized to go sightseeing in his free time, Denis Brogniart acted like a real hero. “I found myself on a lost island in Cambodia, in front of a house where a woman’s childbirth went wrong. I call the doctor Koh Lantahe examines her and says to me: ‘We are going to save the mother, but not the baby’“, recalls the host of 54 years.
This woman could have died, her vital prognosis as well as that of her child were engaged. This is where Denis Brogniart comes in. “We took her to a maternity wardhe recalls. Finally, the baby was saved! Mom called this little girl Chance in Cambodian.“An unforgettable gesture for this family who wanted to thank the star of Koh-Lanta by offering him a superb gift, a vial of coconut oil that he”treasure“with him ever since.
The story of this mother particularly touched Denis Brogniart. The happy father of three daughters – twins Lili and Violette (born in 2005) and Blanche (born in 2006) – discovered the third pregnancy of his wife Hortense, who collaborates with him on the survival show, during a filming of Koh Lanta ! “We learned that my wife was pregnant with the youngest, Blanche, on a set in Vanuatu. I went to get the pregnancy test at the pharmacy in Vanuatu, I gave it to my wife and she saw that she was pregnant“, he had told on the airwaves of Fun Radio in February 2022. A few months later, the couple welcomed the little white girl. And ten years later, Denis Brogniart played an important role in the birth of Chance!
