The report airs on the 1 p.m. newscast. Among the interlocutors, a lady explains, all in humor, to have hesitated to keep her mask all the same because “you never know, now that there is the thing of the monkey there”. Without realizing it, the journalist interviews a well-known person. The most informed viewers have recognized Jacqueline Poelvoorde Pappaert, the mother of actor Benoît Poelvoorde. She notably appeared in the film “It happened near you”.
It was Internet users who challenged the RTBF and Ophélie Fontana account on Twitter, who had presented the 1 p.m. “didn’t you notice that you were interviewing Benoît Poelvoorde’s mother?”, to which the presenter replied: “I noticed it but it was Benjamin Carlier who did the interview, but I don’t know if he knew about it.”
