Plus belle la vie: An Instagram star with one million followers joins the daily series

The bridges between social media and television continue to build strong connections. The daily series Plus belle la vie, encore plus belle welcomes a familiar face from the digital culinary world. Popular food content creator Valentine Astruc, widely known as Valinfood with over a million followers on Instagram, makes a special guest appearance in the hit show.

A culinary collaboration for Gabriel

For weeks, the character Gabriel, played by Joakim Latzko, has been trying to become a successful influencer. Aided by Blanche, portrayed by Cécilia Hornus, he strives to grow his audience, notably after catching attention with a video about endometriosis. Following these efforts, Jennifer advises him to seek advice from Valinfood during a cooking demonstration.

The creator agrees to help the doctor boost his reach. Together, they plan a collaboration combining health and gastronomy, focusing once again on a vital subject affecting women worldwide.

A childhood dream comes true

For Valentine Astruc, stepping onto the set is much more than a simple cameo. A devoted fan of the series since 2011, she used to watch episodes every morning before heading to school. Getting the chance to play her own version in the show she grew up watching is a true dream come true, bringing her regional warmth and authenticity straight to the screen.

This crossover highlights how daily dramas constantly reinvent themselves to bridge the gap between television audiences and internet fandoms.
