For his last of the season in “Touche pas à mon poste!
Wednesday evening,
Cyril Hanouna
insisted on explaining and commenting, a bit upset, on the departure of his protege.
“I won't give my opinion on this show, it's called 'Love Island', we won't watch it even if we like Delphine a lot
, he said during 'Le 6 à 7 avec Baba'.
It will make 400,000 viewers like the others and it will be very good.

I'm very happy when she's there, but when she's not there, our audiences don't drop either
,” he said before speaking directly to her.
“It's very good for you, treat yourself, you'll be able to go on vacation being paid by someone else so I'm very happy.

A first departure of "TPMP" in 2019
This departure from "TPMP" supposed to be a simple
"parenthesis"
, with a hoped-for return next September, had however a strange flavor of farewell.
“Delphine will always be welcome here and she will have her place with us next September with great pleasure”
, assured Cyril Hanouna without believing it too much.
Facing him, Delphine Wespiser seemed much less affirmative and very evasive.
“I'm very happy, it's a new challenge, I'm 31 and I'm ready to show what I can do.
People at the moment trust me and want me so it makes me very happy
, ”she replied.
