Hard blow for Anne-Claire Coudray. This Friday, December 9, 2021, Puremedia announced that the 44-year-old journalist had been tested positive for coronavirus. Thus, she is forced to confine herself for a few days and will therefore not be not at the controls of TF1 1 p.m. and 8 p.m. this Friday, this Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 December.
Anne-Claire Coudray will nevertheless be replaced. Always according to the information of Puremedia, it has in fact been decided that Julien Arnaud will take over, also installed for several years on the front page. Usually, it is Audrey Crespo-Mara who is designated to be the joker of Anne-Claire Coudray but the wife of Thierry Ardisson is “currently on vacation“As specified by our colleagues. Julien Arnaud, for his part, is more used to replacing Gilles Bouleau during the latter’s holidays.
While waiting to recover her place, Anne-Claire Coudray will be able to rest at home, no doubt in the company of her man Nicolas Vix with whom she had a little girl named Amalia and born in July 2015. At least by applying barrier gestures because we must still hope that they are not contaminated by the Covid!
Since the start of the pandemic, this is obviously not the first time that a French audiovisual personality has been affected by the virus. Most recently, the presenter of 4 truths on France 2 and C in the air on France 5, Caroline roux, had also been removed from the air after contracting the coronavirus. In addition, at the beginning of the year, Anne-Sophie Lapix moved away from the antenna for the same reasons. The 48-year-old journalist was thankfully asymptomatic and therefore did not suffer during her isolation. “Still zero symptoms. I am varnished“, she rejoiced to her Instagram community. She was then replaced by her joker Karine Baste-Régis. Even before, Wendy Bouchard, Christine Kelly Laurence Ferrari or Laurent Bignolas had to be away from the sets for a while.
