Sophie Davant gave way to Julia Vignali
on August 28, 2023. The latter left her sidekick Thomas Sotto on Telematin to devote himself to antique objects in Deal Done
. Six months after her arrival, what assessment has she managed to draw up? Is she fulfilled in her new role? Is she already on her way out? Was she surprised by the program? The main interested party precisely gave the answer this Monday, February 12, 2024 during her visit to France info.
To begin with, Julia Vignali demonstrated frankness. Indeed, it was not the antique objects that pushed her to go to Deal Done but rather the success of the show. “It’s a show a bit like all the ones I’ve played until now, quite heritage, that is to say a show that everyone knows. I was flattered that they came to pick me up for animate it”she initially told our colleagues before ensuring that she did not feel any pressure upon her arrival, and even in the days preceding it: “I don’t want people to think that I have a huge melon, but I wasn’t very worried about Deal concluded because I find that the machine, the format, the show are strong.”

Julia Vignali’s passion came on the job
On the other hand, one point still worried her. The fact that she’s not a big fan of antiques. “You have to be interested in the subject, because if you’re not interested in it, the days are long”she admitted before revealing: “In all honesty, I didn’t know if I was interested in the subject before doing it”.

Today, she is happy and fulfilled in her role, and does not plan to let go anytime soon. “I already have a passion for the history of objects. The auctioneers tell you the little stories in the big one, that fascinates me. I’m there, I’m staying there! I’m not moving anymore!” Enough to reassure viewers who swear by Kad Merad’s partner.
