About Francesca Antoniotti
French television personality and former singer Francesca Antoniotti was born on July 6, 1981, in Bastia, Corsica. She first gained national attention in late 2004 when she competed in the fourth season of Star Academy on TF1, finishing eighth. That music reality show appearance launched a media career that has spanned two decades.
After Star Academy, Antoniotti moved into television hosting, starting with call-in programs like La Nuit est à vous on NT1 and L'Appel gagnant on RTL9. In 2006 she hosted Prime de match on TPS Foot, a show dedicated to football history, and also contributed to a VIP show on NRJ 12. She joined Ma Chaîne Sport in 2007, where she conducted on-field interviews during Ligue 2 matches, and later became a columnist on Eugène Saccomano's On refait le match. Her sports journalism work also included appearances on 20 h Foot on I-Télé.
From 2013 to 2024, Antoniotti was a familiar face on the C8 network (formerly D8). She appeared as a regular columnist on Est-ce que ça marche?, co-hosted by Ariane Massenet and Camille Combal, and later on Don't Touch My Sport! with Estelle Denis. She contributed to several other C8 programs, including Tell Baba! with Cyril Hanouna and C'est que de la télé!. Since December 2018 she has been an intermittent columnist on Touche pas à mon poste!.
Antoniotti is 45 years old, with brown hair and hazel eyes, and a slim build. Between 2000 and 2003 she lived with footballer Alain Masudi; their son Enzo was born in 2002. Since 2021 she has been in a relationship with Bernard Orsini. As of June 2026, her Instagram following stands at 109,000.
