Matthieu Delormeau, one of the main columnists of “Touche pas à mon poste”, announced on Friday that he was leaving “definitively” the flagship program of C8 presented by Cyril Hanouna, without specifying the reason for his departure. “After 7 years on the air, I have decided to leave TPMP and TPMP PEOPLE for good”, wrote the 49-year-old host on Twitter, thanking “the viewers” whom he thinks have “sometimes annoyed” but hopes to have “ entertained, amused, touched”.
“Thanks to C8, to the teams, to the antenna, the production and of course to Cyril. Life is beautiful and we are lucky to have several, ”he concludes in his message, relayed by Cyril Hanouna on the same social network. Already in 2020, the former host of NRJ12 had announced that he was leaving his post as a columnist on C8, citing his desire to “live new adventures”.
The show continues the controversies
He had reaffirmed in passing his loyalty to Cyril Hanouna and assured that he had “never felt humiliated” in TPMP, even if he was the protagonist of two very controversial sequences. In one of them, Cyril Hanouna had poured noodles in his underpants, and in the other, the presenter of TPMP had tried to make his columnist take responsibility for a pseudo-crime, on a hidden camera.
The program “Touche pas à mon poste” has chained controversy in recent years, resulting in multiple warnings and sanctions from Arcom (ex-CSA) against C8. At the beginning of February, the channel notably received a record fine of 3.5 million euros after the insults launched live by its star host at the LFI deputy Louis Boyard in November.
