For several years, the former weather presenter Catherine Laborde has been fighting against the disease. A few months after retiring after more than 28 years on TF1, she confided in her state of health in “Seven to Eight”. “I’m losing my memory all the time. I just talked to you and I don’t know what I said half an hour earlier,” she confessed to Audrey Crespo-Mara. Catherine Laborde indeed suffers from Lewy body disease which affects her memory, lucidity and motor skills.
It is now her husband, Thomas Stern who gives her news regularly. “It’s not total disaster but she’s not well. She’s progressing rather slowly, she’s been sick for 4-5 years and usually this disease works much faster […] She has language and expression problems. Motor skills too, but she is not disabled either“he said in October 2022 on the set of”Touche pas à mon poste“.
The opportunity for him to also reveal if Catherine Laborde has reconciled with her sister, Françoise Laborde who is also known to the general public. “I think it calms down a lot of things. So I think there are a lot of little family bickering that has disappeared. But they don’t see each other very often because Françoise isn’t there often… and then they’re less in competition on TV channels or on TV sets so it’s not the same song anymore”

Enough to confirm that they have patched things up and are on excellent terms. This Friday, June 2, 2023, Françoise Laborde reappeared on Instagram to share more disturbing photos this time.
