Bernard Montiel is popular, and has never hidden it. The television and radio host and columnist, who appears on Animaux TV, on Olympia, on C8 and on RFM, made his return to
Do not touch My TV
last week, after several long months of absence. Indeed, if he was very present around Cyril Hanouna’s table in recent seasons, the host and producer of TPMP seems to have forgotten him somewhat, and replaced by new faces such as those of Jacques Cardoze And Radouan Kourak. The strong return this season of Jean-Michel Maire may also have been the cause of the fortuitous withdrawal of Bernard Montielwho was however able to make his return to the show in recent days.
A return of which Brigitte Macron does not seem to have heard… The first lady, who is very friendly with Bernard Montiel (they regularly go out to the theater, generally on Wednesday evenings as he revealed one evening in TPMP), had probably gotten used to Bernard Montiel’s new, calmer life, and knew that she could call him at any time, especially in the evening. But this Monday, March 4, 2024, a little hiccup live from Do not touch My TV : at the very beginning of the broadcast, the columnist received a call of a certain Brigitte Mand it did not take more to push Cyril Hanouna to reveal that it was indeed the wife of the President of the Republic.

Bernard Montiel claims she filtered him
Ostensibly refusing to give up his cell phone to Cyril Hanouna, Bernard Montiel had no choice but to comply with his boss’s orders. Neither one nor two, Kelly Vedovelli, Valérie Bénaïm or even Cyril Hanouna asked him to call her back. The former host of Video Gag was initially opposed to it. But the host of
Facing Hanouna
always has the last word, and forced its chronicler to go call her friend backstage, promising her that her microphone would be muted. A few minutes later, Bernard Montiel returned to the set, and assured that he had tried to contact his friend, in vain: “She no longer responds”. Did he really try to contact her or did he prefer to avoid this happening? The mystery remains!
