made the trip to Epernay (Marne) to see the episode of the game of TF1 alongside her former teammate Hadja.

“My place is with her, I wanted to be with her.

My family understands, ”added the Rhône baker.

Reached by phone Thursday, she expected a "complicated and moving" evening.

And for good reason: it was during this episode that Bertrand-Kamal said his farewell to the show.

A departure all the more heartbreaking as the thirty-something died in September, succumbing to a dazzling cancer.

Very popular with other candidates, he had become, over the course of the episodes, one of the public's most beloved figures.

“If Angélique had not won the immunity test, the situation would have been different.

It was she who, I think, would have gone out, ”Joaquina supposes.

The thirty-something however largely digested his departure.

“It's just a game,” she recalls.

The sad fate of Bertrand-Kamal reminds us that there are indeed much more important things.
