Claire Chazal behind a dismissal on France 5? A presenter says she took “a bullet”
For the new issue of At Jordan’sbroadcast this Friday, December 6 on C8, Jordan De Luxe received Hélène Gateau. The columnist, presenter and veterinarian was thus able to tell her story, from her youth to the scientific career she followed up to her career on television. Because the pretty blonde has been evolving within the media landscape for several years now. In particular, she works with Michel Drucker as a specialist in the animal world. The faithful of France 5 will also remember her at the helm of the show Helen and the Animalsbroadcast between 2014 and 2015.
Through this documentary series, Hélène Gateau set out to explore the relationship between man and animal in France and abroad. Unfortunately, after 47 issues, and despite good audiences, the program was suddenly stopped. In At Jordan’sthe beautiful 43-year-old blonde lifted the veil on the reasons behind this decision and her ouster from the air. “It was a great show, it was on Saturday afternoon on France 5, just before Julie’s Notebooks (Andrieu, editor’s note), et There was a boss who took over as head of France 5 for three months and shot me. He had other people to put in my place“, she said.
Major reorganization on France 5 with the arrival of Michel Field
But it is not a veterinarian like her nor a presenter specializing in animals who was highlighted on the channel but rather a star of the small screen who had just turned a big page in her career: . Indeed, at the time, the journalist had just left TF1 four months earlier and was making her return to France Télévisions, where she began presenting the cultural magazine FREE ENTRANCE on France 5.
“It is who arrived at the head of France 5 at that time, he stayed for three months, he shot me and at the same time Claire Chazal arrived“, reported Hélène Gateau. And to estimate: “I think we had to save money, they said to themselves ‘we’re going to fire Gateau’. I think two of us were subjected to this, to be fired. And it was hard because the show was doing well“.
