When millions of viewers turned on the TV in France, they were expecting to a see a weathergirl stick to her word and give a forecast naked.

Doria Tillier, 27, had boldly vowed to strip off if the France national football team managed to qualify for the World Cup finals.

With Les Bleus 2-0 down after the first leg of their play-off qualifier against Ukraine, she was confident they would lose in Paris on Tuesday.

But they didn’t – and ended up winning 3-0 on the night, 3-2 on aggregate.

And she did… although not in the way viewers may have expected.

Instead of taking her clothes off on-screen, she made a series of jokes and allowed a long-distance back shot of her running across a field.

 

 

Doria said she would be ‘a poil’ – French for naked – but in fact presented the weather from Poil, which is a village near Paris.

‘It was a pathetic stunt – not funny at all,’ said disappointed Canal+ viewer Remy Jacob. ‘Everyone was hoping Doria would be a good sport, but it was all nonsense.’
