Jean‑Pierre Foucault vows to keep hosting Miss France

Jean‑Pierre Foucault, the 78‑year‑old presenter who has hosted the Miss France pageant on TF1 since 1996, told the programme Jamais Dit that he will remain in the role “as long as I don’t need a walker”. His comment, made on the anniversary of the contest, was met with a flurry of reactions on social media.

Despite recurring speculation about a possible successor – with names such as Camille Combal mentioned in internal discussions – no official decision has been announced and Foucault shows no intention of stepping down soon.
