Mélissa Theuriau (born 18 July 1978, in Échirolles, suburb of the south of Grenoble, France) is a French journalist who made her breakthrough as a newscaster and travel show host for LCI, the news channel and for TF1. Her programmes were LCI Matin (LCI Morning), the 6:40 news on LCI and TF1 from Monday to Thursday and the Voyages (travel) show on Wednesdays at 13:55 on LCI.
In May 2006, she surprised the management of TF1 by refusing the offer to be the anchorwoman of the weekend evening news of TF1, as a summer replacement for sitting anchorwoman Claire Chazal. She justified this decision by the fear of excessive personal exposure and her will to do something more ambitious like going on assignment in the field if she had the opportunity. The very same week, the French paparazzi weekly Voici featured pictures of Mélissa topless at the beach. In June 2006, M6, another French television channel, announced her arrival for September as editor in chief and presenter of Zone interdite, a weekly magazine show featuring investigative reporting.
Theuriau graduated from the Institut de la Communication et des Médias, Université Stendhal - Grenoble III at Échirolles, France and is currently a spokeswoman for the Vuarnet brand of glasses. She became popular on the internet being dubbed 'the most beautiful news anchor' in the world.
She can currently be seen on France 24's English channel.
