Laurent Ruquier takes a new step in entertainment television. After Mask Singer, he will participate in a famous TV game with his companion…
After a brief stint on the BFMTV news channel, Laurent Ruquier made a thunderous return to entertainment television this year with his participation in Mask Singer, on TF1, where he is part of the investigative team alongside Kev Adams, Chantal Ladesou and Inès Reg. He’s going to have a little more fun in 2024 since he’s also been announced in the casting of a famous M6 game in the coming months.
And this time, Laurent Ruquier will also reveal to the general public a facet of his private life since he will participate in this show with his companion. The couple will lock themselves up for several days in a castle, the Château de Biron, in Dordogne, for a strategic game made up of intrigues of all kinds, lies and plots. This is indeed the game Traitors which convinced the PAF star and her partner. Presented by Eric Antoine, it is based on a simple concept: celebrities are divided into two groups, the “traitors” and the “loyal”. Some must lie to others, who must in turn unmask them to win.
Season 2, broadcast last summer, kept viewers in suspense, with its share of alliances and betrayals. In the final, it was YouTuber Juju Fitcats who won and the 20,000 euros promised to the winner. For this third season, the couple formed by Laurent Ruquier and Hugo Manos will therefore have to try to take up the challenge. The facilitator of Big headsaged 61, and his 35-year-old companion, a professional sports coach, will have to join forces and their sense of strategy to hope to go as far as possible in the adventure.
The relationship of Laurent Ruquier and Hugo Manos, made official in 2022 after months of rumors, has caused a lot of ink to flow due to their age difference. After having kept his private life secret for a long time, Laurent Ruquier now fully embraces his love affair with the influencer, 25 years his junior. The couple appears regularly at social events and on social networks. Hugo Manos even made a surprise appearance on the set of Children of TV for his partner’s 60th birthday. Proof that the host is ready to expose his private life more, far from the television studios or theater stages where he usually excels.
More than just a game, their participation in Traitors therefore represents a new stage in the media coverage of their couple. Laurent Ruquier justified his decision as a new page in his personal and professional life. Hugo Manos, for his part, also has his own challenges to overcome. After a difficult period following his ouster from the show TPMP People on C8, he finds in Traitors a chance to bounce back.
In addition to Laurent Ruquier and Hugo Manos, the production of Traitors has already revealed the participation of several other personalities. Among them, we find influencers Crazy Sally, Studio Danielle and Arthur Lombard, as well as well-known actors such as Laly Meignan and Jean-Christophe Bouvet. The rapper Stomy Bugsy and the comedian Julie Ferrier also enrich this already colorful picture. The broadcast date has not yet been revealed.
