Chantal Ladesou feeds on her colorful couple with Michel Ansault for her shows. The 74-year-old comedian born in Roubaix is never bored with the one she married decades ago and who gave her three children: Alix, who died tragically in a car accident when he was 21, Julien and finally Clémence, an actress like her mother.
Guest with Pierre Palmade and Hugues Aufray in The secret box on October 28, 2022, Chantal Ladesou discovered multiple objects in the box placed right in front of her. Dapper in her high-waisted jeans, her white shirt and her neon pink pumps, the one who caused a sensation as an uncontrollable investigator in the last season of Mask Singer (TF1) found herself in front of a bouquet of flowers. Not just any, a bouquet of red carnations, the opportunity for the thousands of viewers connected to France 3 to discover the story linked to these carnations.
A “terrible” gift
Faced with Faustine Bollaert, who each time collects very beautiful personal stories from her guests, Chantal à Ladesou recounted the day when her husband gave her carnations, a clumsy gift since they are signs of misfortune among actors. “That’s terrible“, reacted the comedian when his secret box opened. “We never offer carnations to an actress“, she then recalled, before diving back into her memories. “My husband, the first time I went to play on the boulevard with Marthe Mercadier, it was a play by Marcel Aymé at the Variety Theater (The Four Truths editor’s note), he gave me a huge bouquet of carnations“, said Chantal Ladesou, making Faustine Bollaert laugh a lot, hilarious at this awkwardness yet so romantic and touching. “I haven’t worked for ten years“, then joked Chantal Ladesou.
In reality, the comedian continued to work well and Michel Ansault, whom she had met at Rank Xerox when she was a sales hostess, never left each other. He is now her manager and it is out of love for her that he performed in The secret box.
Indeed, during this beautiful evening of exchange and secrets, Chantal Ladesou received many surprises. By them, her husband went on stage and joined Didier Barbelivien to perform the song She. And what did Michel Ansault wear in his buttonhole, a red carnation of course!
