Many changes will be to be deplored at the start of the school year, within France Télévisions. On June 29, host Julia Vignali bid farewell to viewers of Telematinshe who made the choice to leave the show in order to take control of another program on the channel, Deal Concluded.
“A very big thank you to Delphine Ernotte and Stéphane Sitbon Gomez who had the good idea two years ago to bring me back to public service when I was in an excellent pastry training center in Neuilly-sur-Seine. I leave with a light heart. she said before introducing her replacement: “I leave you with the excellent journalist Marie Portolano. Who ate the same cakes as me. But it shows less on her”. A little nod to the fact that the two young women presented the show Best Pastry Chef on the M6 channel.
It is precisely the famous cooking show that Marie Portolano abandons in order to join France 2. If the filming of season 12 of the Best Pastry Chef took place in May 2023, it is next September that viewers will be able to discover the images. This Thursday, July 20, 2023, a press conference was held organized by the production teams of the show and Cyril Lignac did not fail to speak about the departure of Marie Portolano.
Best Pastry Chef: Cyril Lignac reacts to the departure of Marie Portolano“We learned about it almost at the end of filming, like just about everyone. Inevitably, we were disappointed because we love Marie. It was going really well, we spent great seasons of the Best Pastry Chef together. She’s a great girl, bubbly, funny, who has wit and humor” said the chief.“She was good for the program” he continued, emphasizing his “touch of madness and his benevolence”. And the young dad concludes: “When we learned that she was leaving us, of course, it did something to us. She made her choice. It’s his career, his life. We wish him the best“.
Last June, Nicolas de Tavernost, president of the M6 group, reacted to the departure of the pretty 37-year-old blonde. “She proves her sporty character by running a lot from one channel to another” he said before wishing him good luck in his new role. As a reminder, Marie Portolano officiated on Canal + from 2014 to 2018 before joining the M6… which she is now leaving for France 2.
