‘Seven to Eight’ Paused: TF1 Benches Audrey Crespo-Mara โfor โWorld Cup Qualifier
Viewers โฃof TF1’s popular news magazine Seven to Eight will find โคa break in their Sunday routine, as the program hasโค been temporarily removed from the schedule. The decision by the network to prioritize live sports coverage means Audrey Crespo-Mara will be absent from the lateโค afternoon slot for at โฃleast oneโข week.
TF1 has opted to broadcast the Azerbaijan / France World Cup qualifying match in the program’s usual time slot. Despite France already securing qualification following a 4-0 victory over Ukraine, the channel โis dedicating the “strategic box” to the sportingโข event. This interruption comes amidst a period of personal adjustment for Crespo-Mara, following theโข julyโฃ 14, 2025, death of herโข husband, Thierry ardisson.โค
Crespo-Mara andโฃ Ardisson shared a relationshipโฃ spanning โฃmore than fifteen โyears, beginning with a “thunderbolt” meeting in 2009โข at LCI. The couple frequently spoke of theirโข deep connection, with Crespo-Maraโค telling Gala magazine, “We are all the time each otherโฆmuch more time together than a couple who have an โoffice life.” Ardisson passed away after battlingโฃ liver cancer.
TF1 confirmed Seven to Eight will return to its regularโค 5:15 p.m. timeslot next Sunday. โฃThe network routinely adjusts its programming to accommodate broadcasts of French national team matches, demonstrating the importance of internationalโค competitions to the channel.
