“I’m freaking out my race”
Eric Antoine
Always in a desire to adapt to the times and avoid any criticism, Éric Antoine will not be surrounded by “Antoinettes” to present the games and products, including hostesses as in previous versions.
Vincent Lagaf', who presented the game between 2009 and 2015 on TF1, nicknamed them "les Gafettes".
The new presenter will be able to rely on a female voice-over, described as his
“sparring partner”
(partner in English, editor's note), but also on a mixed duo of hosts.
Vincent Piguet, who met Éric Antoine in “France has an incredible talent”, will be one of them.
“I freak out about my race, I want to be up to par in every way and above all I want to do good to people, and bring children and grandparents together
,” says Éric Antoine, who was able to count on Vincent’s advice Lagaf’.
