Starting out as a switchboard operator at RTL at the age of 17, the famous Laurence Boccolini began her career as a professional TV host in 1987… Quite a career since then!
A brilliant career
Continuing along this path, the star presented the show ” Le maillon faible ” on the TF1 channel between 2001 and 2007. Her image as a tough, yet tender host attracted thousands of viewers to her shows. When the show ended in 2007, the channel offered her the chance to launch her acting career, playing the role of a schoolteacher in the drama Mademoiselle Joubert. Sharing the starring role on TF1 with her colleague Claire Chazal, this curvaceous blonde was sure to touch the hearts of the French.
Happy in love
On the romance front, the actress found the love of her life and married Mickaël Fakaïlo on July 31, 2004. They are 19 years apart. It all began when Mickaël Fakaïlo took part in the Mister France election in 2003, presented by Laurence Boccolini. Since 2013, they have been the happy parents of a little Willow; the host was 50 at the time.
A disease that eats away at her
Laurence Boccolini is ill, and has just spoken about one of her passions, which she can no longer indulge for long because of the illness that is eating away at her. The TF1 host no longer hides her illness, rheumatoid polyarthritis, and even takes it on board on her social networks. On Instagram. As we all know, Laurence Boccolini (55) has learned to live with her rheumatoid arthritis, a particularly painful autoimmune disease that causes inflammation of the joints, preventing the body from performing certain movements.
The host of Big Bounce and Je suis une célébrité, sortez-moi de là (TF1) once again broached the subject of the ailment that gnaws at her, evoking an activity that she finds increasingly difficult to perform despite her passion: writing. Indeed, holding a pen is becoming a real struggle for her daughter Willow (5).
