Hanouna slams Delormeau: "His return is out of the question. He was put back in the spotlight when no one else was welcoming him. He needs to remember who gave him a helping hand."

Matthieu Delormeau's return to Cyril Hanouna's show is not planned at the moment. When questioned live on W9 last night about Delormeau's situation, Hanouna answered directly the questions many viewers have been asking for several weeks. Delormeau, who was for a long time one of the most recognizable faces on Hanouna's shows, was removed from the program after an incident behind the scenes described as "violent and inappropriate" behavior towards a show assistant. Since then, the question of his possible return has come up regularly, especially since Delormeau has frequently alternated between leaving, being absent, and returning to Hanouna's table in recent years.

Matthieu Delormeau's appearance on Léa Salamé's show displeased Cyril Hanouna

The topic was brought up again after Matthieu Delormeau's appearance on the show What an era!, presented by Léa Salamé on France 2. Matthieu Delormeau was a guest as part of the promotion of his book Addictions: It only took once…Published by Éditions Leduc, this book sees Matthieu Delormeau reflecting on his addictions to cocaine, GHB, and medication, as well as his personal journey over the past few years. During an interview with Léa Salamé, Delormeau was asked about a possible return to Cyril Hanouna's show. Hanouna did not appreciate this answer, as he later explained on air: “I didn’t appreciate his response to Léa Salamé at all, when she asked him, ‘Would you go back to Cyril Hanouna’s show?’ You know, coming and being on the number one talk show in France isn’t a punishment, it’s an opportunity. So if he realizes it’s an opportunity, if he wants to come and tells me so, if he manages to find the words to change my mind, why not?”

Cyril Hanouna says no to the immediate return of Matthieu Delormeau

Cyril Hanouna was then very direct about the current situation. For the moment, Cyril Hanouna is not considering bringing Matthieu Delormeau back onto his team. "At the moment, for now, it's a no." Later in his speech, Cyril Hanouna was keen to point out that Matthieu Delormeau had regained significant media exposure thanks to his return to Cyril Hanouna's shows: "It's true that we're the ones who brought Matthieu back into the spotlight. You know, nobody was receiving Mathieu Delormeau when he hadn't made his return to television." So now everyone is using him to try and get attention for themselves. And every time they do interviews, they talk 80%, 90% about his years with me and 10% about his graduating class.

Cyril Hanouna warns Matthieu Delormeau

Cyril Hanouna then explained that Matthieu Delormeau needed to distinguish between the people who genuinely help him and those who are taking advantage of his current exposure: "That's it, but we have to stop. We need to know who are the people who are using him and who are the people who are helping him and who have reached out to him." A very clear message: without Hanouna, Delormeau would never have returned to television. Something he seems to have forgotten a little too quickly in the eyes of "Baba"...

Cyril Hanouna insists he still has affection for Matthieu Delormeau

Despite this very firm statement, Cyril Hanouna insisted that he harbored no personal animosity towards Matthieu Delormeau. Cyril Hanouna even asserted that Matthieu Delormeau would always remain an important person to him.

"So, Mathieu, I have nothing against him, I like him very much, he will always be my friend, but he should still be careful. He knows the business well and there are people who don't invite him for the right reasons, who pay him attention for the wrong reasons."

Cyril Hanouna's position is therefore nuanced but firm. He says he appreciates Matthieu Delormeau, while also believing that the conditions aren't right for an immediate return to the show. Matthieu Delormeau could still influence Hanouna's decision, but Hanouna is waiting for a clear statement and words from him that will change his mind.

Matthieu Delormeau's return remains contingent on Cyril Hanouna's decision.

For now, Matthieu Delormeau is unlikely to return to Cyril Hanouna's show. Hanouna gave a direct answer, while leaving a conditional opening. The message to Delormeau is clear: a return is only possible if he can convince Hanouna of his genuine desire to come back.

This segment confirms that the relationship between Cyril Hanouna and Matthieu Delormeau remains closely followed by viewers. Between personal attachment, professional tensions, and media pressures, Matthieu Delormeau's future on Cyril Hanouna's show remains uncertain.
