Five months that she was no longer at “1 p.m.” on TF 1. Five months that she was fighting against a rare eye infection, an amoebic keratin.
An eye disease "classified as rare and severe", Marie-Sophie Lacarrau told us last week when she announced her return to the air.
Less than 100 cases per year.
And a heavy and long treatment.
This Monday, for her big comeback at midday, the journalist appeared smiling, happy to find viewers.
All without glasses, after maintaining the suspense during his interview, with files and iPad on the desk.

We know she's back today.
Great.
A woman on TV is good!

And these devotees of the lunch of the One are not the only ones to be delighted to find the one who replaced Jean-Pierre Pernaut.
“It feels so good to find you, finally, concluded the local correspondent.
So I can't resist Marie-Sophie: I kiss you.
“A small attention which, it seems, moved the journalist.
“Thank you Sébastien, I kiss you too and I kiss all the correspondents.
