Matthieu Delormeau is starting a new chapter in his career. Friday May 12, 2023, the emblematic columnist of “Touche pas à mon poste” indeed announced via his social networks that he was definitively leaving the cult program of C8 hosted by Cyril Hanouna.
“After 7 years on the air, I have decided to leave TPMP and TPMP People for good. I wanted to thank you viewers hoping to have entertained, amused, touched you, and I also sometimes know how to annoy thanks to C8, the teams, the antenna, the production and of course Cyril. Life is beautiful and we are lucky to have many of them,” he wrote on his Twitter account. A publication which was quick to trigger an avalanche of tweets from Internet users saddened by this departure. And for good reason, the former acolyte of Cyril Hanouna was among the columnists of TPMP that viewers of the eighth channel were most used to seeing.
A closeness that had inevitably created attachment. The proof, Matthieu Delormeau was elected columnist of the year 2023 of “Touche pas à mon poste” according to a poll TV Magazine. The opportunity for our colleagues to meet the former host of C8 who is delighted to succeed Raymond Aabou: “I’m obviously so touched. The list of my faults is as long as my arm, but I have never made a “TPMP” did he declare.
An interview during which Matthieu Delormeau also returned to his 2022-2023 season and his live quarrels with several columnists. And if between him and Delphine Wespiser or Guillaume Genton, everything seems to have worked out, with Gilles Verdez the 49-year-old man keeps a stubborn grudge.

“These are therefore homophobic remarks”
“Gilles on the other hand to all my contempt. Twice, when talking about PSG players refusing to wear a jersey ‘against homophobia’, he supported them and apologized, saying: ‘Muslim players are afraid, we can understand them’ », did he declare.
And to add: “I consider that no religion is better than another. There is no bad religion but bad religious sometimes. Homophobia is not an opinion but a crime like racism, anti-Semitism… Replace on the jerseys of PSG players the sentence “against homophobia” by the phrase “against anti-Semitism”. Would Gilles have supported players who refused to wear them, regardless of religion? No. These are therefore homophobic remarks ”, he estimated. And to conclude by evoking the sad suicide of Lucas in January 2023 to underline the importance of the letter against homophobia.
