Monday, November 22, 2021, after months of secrecy, Jean-Pierre Pernaut broke the silence on the new cancer from which he suffers. Three years after recovering from prostate cancer, the 71-year-old journalist is now affected in the lungs. However, the former TF1 JT star has not said his last word and it is with steel morale that he is ready to wage this new battle against the disease. Moreover, despite very tiring treatment sessions, Jean-Pierre Pernaut assures him: he won’t stop working.
He is even now looking towards his future professional projects, as he confided to the Parisian during an interview published Tuesday evening. When asked what he is thinking about now, he replies: “To relaunch reports for Great reports, to publish issue 4 of In the heart of the regions December 25 where we will focus on the presidential election seen by rural people. And then I’ll follow my wife’s tour with the coin The pranksters, because I love the atmosphere of the theater. I will continue my magazine on LCI and of course take care of myself“.
Jean-Pierre Pernaut also has one last project in mind and not the least, that of participating in a well-known show on TF1. “And next year, my wish is to do Dance with the stars !“, he announced with a burst of laughter. It remains to be seen whether the presenter will keep his word when he is rid of all his health problems. In any case, the appointment is made!
Remember that during the summer, Jean-Pierre Pernaut was already operated on the right side successfully, but now his left lung needs to be taken care of. For this one on the other hand, no operation is possible and it is thus by radiotherapy that Nathalie Marquay’s husband is trying to heal himself. During his first speeches, Jean-Pierre Pernaut did not hide his bitter regret at not having quit smoking earlier, when everyone was advising him for his own good.
