Since Monday August 29, 2022, a new team has taken up residence at the head of the morning show on Virgin radio. After Manu Payet and his band, it is a trio composed of Guillaume Genton, Fabien Delettres and Diane Leyre who took the reins of this so important time slot on the FM waves. A bet driven by Cyril Hanouna, producer of the show. “It was Cyril Hanouna who made the choices by combining several talents he identified. By chance, I hosted a bonus on C8 at the end of last year which was in fact a pledge and that’s when Cyril had the idea of putting me at the head of this morning show. He had heard me on Europe 1 several years ago and he had wanted me to come back on the air for a long time. I was surprised, I did not expect to do radio again but I am very honored.“, says the tall blond, also a columnist in “TPMP”, to TV Magazine.
And according to Miss France 2022 the mayonnaise quickly took between the animators: “I had met Guillaume when I came to “Touche pas à mon poste! » and I discovered Fabien during our tests. It matched immediately between the three of us, we quickly laughed a lot together.“As for Fabien Delettres, close to Cyril Hanouna, the experience also seems quite pleasant.”I have been working in Cyril’s shadow for 17 years, my job is to write jokes to him, even if he is already very funny naturally. I was by his side ten years ago when he hosted the Virgin Radio morning show and he asked me to come back on the air. I did some tests and our trio immediately worked even though we didn’t know each other at all.“, says the Breton.
A beautiful complicity that can be heard on the air, where the three hosts exchange like a real group of friends. Recently, Guillaume Genton told them a funny anecdote about a star he met in his youth. “I met Kanye West when I was 14 and he was already a little known in France. And then I start talking to him and he says “Don’t look me in the eye“, he says before continuing: “Then I wanted to take a picture with him and he said “Don’t touch me“. A story that left Diane Leyre and Fabien Delettres speechless and probably many listeners.
