Mélissa Theuriau (b. July 18, 1978, Grenoble) is a French newscaster and travel show host for LCI, the news channel for TF1.
Her programmes are "LCI Matin" (LCI Morning), the 6:40 news on TF1 from Monday to Thursday and the "Voyages" (travel) show on Wednesdays at 13:55 on LCI.
Her image is enormously popular on the Internet as a Google search will show, and she is a very popular post on the Internet site Fark.com.
She is a spokeswoman for the Vuarnet brand of glasses.
In May 2006, she surprised the management of TF1 by refusing the offer to be the anchorwoman of the week-end evening news of TF1, as a Summer replacement for sitting anchorwoman Claire Chazal. She justified this unprecedented decision by the fear of excessive personal exposure. She is somewhat confirmed in her opinion by the cover of French papparazzi weekly Voici, the very same week, featuring pictures of Mélissa topless at the beach.
