Le Courrier Cauchois reports the death of Jean-Claude Joly, candidate for the 6th French season of “L’Amour est dans le pré”.
The man was reportedly found hanged on his farm on the night of June 24-25.
Karine Lemarchand, host of the show, paid tribute to him on her Instagram account: “My Jean-Claude, words fail me, but not my tears. Thank you for giving me so much joy and affection at each of my our reunion. You chose to say stop, so rest in peace. My thoughts are with Maud and your little Charlotte,” she wrote.
Thanks to the show, Jean-Claude had met Maud in 2011. From their union was born their daughter Charlotte. In 2016, however, he will be accused by his companion of having “kicked her and shoved her, which led to her fall.” Despite his conviction for domestic violence, the man will deny the facts.
