Laëtitia Milot has announced her departure from the M6 cooking show "Le Meilleur Pâtissier," where she served as host for two seasons, from 2024 to 2026. In an Instagram post on Monday, February 23, 2026, Milot explained her decision to step down was a difficult but necessary choice to fully dedicate herself to her acting career and other fiction projects, returning to her "first love." While her replacement has not yet been named, Milot expressed gratitude for her time on the show, describing it as a "superb family program that breathes kindness and authenticity." This announcement follows the earlier news of Mercotte, a judge on the show since 2012, also leaving due to her advanced age.
