Cyril Hanouna was in great shape on the eve of the weekend of Friday March 11. Before receiving Martin Blachier in Do not touch My TV for the release of his book Mega mess. Secret history of the pandemic, the 47-year-old host took a short tour of the set to hear from his team and get some information about them. He was not disappointed to learn that Gilles Verdez had singer Bernard Lavilliers in his sights for a long time…
“I don’t like him very much Bernard Lavilliers“, he told Cyril Hanouna. The latter did not even need to ask for an explanation since Gilles Verdez, still annoyed by the situation, took care of it on his own: “He flirted with Fatou at a concert. That’s not pretty. It was a long time ago, in the East of France and that, I don’t like.“The sports journalist did not specify whether this attempt at rapprochement had taken place before Gilles Verdez’s meeting with his bride, but he made it clear that he would settle his accounts with the interpreter of the golden hands by sticking one in his face.
Between Gilles Verdez and Fatou, love has lasted for several years, not without some turmoil. In 2017, as Valentine’s Day approached, the columnist had a strong argument with his darling for a languorous kiss exchanged live with Isabelle Morini-Bosc. To reconcile, Gilles Verdez had therefore organized a surprise: that of asking for Fatou’s hand live in TPMP. Stressed, he complied, obtaining a shy and criticized “yes” from his fiancée.
Faced with the tidal wave of reactions triggered by this request, Gilles Verdez defended his future wife: “TV is not his job! She runs a beauty salon, she’s not used to it, the atmosphere here is intimidating for her. If she comes, it’s really because it’s an act of love for me, she comes for that only. She didn’t know at all that I was going to propose to her. She is extremely modest, she also protects her children, her family, and in her culture, we do not show her feelings.“. Since then, Fatou has assumed them. The wedding preparations are also underway. A happy ending as we like them!
