Virginie Guilhaume (born 30 November 1977) is a French television presenter.
Virginie Guilhaume graduated at the École supérieure de journalisme de Paris. She began her career as a production assistant, especially with television presenters Guillaume Durand, Thierry Ardisson and Michel Drucker. After becoming a journalist, image reporter and chief editor, France 2 gave her the opportunity to present entertainment programs. She joined the channel to host with Olivier Minne special evening shows such as La Saint Valentin en chansons. She then presented during summer 2007 the program Les Rois du Rire, broadcast on Saturday in the second part of the evening. The program was then broadcast on some Saturdays in the late afternoon, in the evening of New Year's Eve, or more exceptionally, as a tribute to deceased humorists. She continued in the meantime to present special programs in prime, often with Olivier Minne, including Tubes des Tubes in July 2007, Les stars de l'année 2007 in December 2007, and even Les Femmes en chansons in April 2008.
In 2008, Virginie Guilhaume joined M6 where she presented in August a program dedicated to the jet set titled Stars et Fortunes. In September, she presented the weekly documentary dedicated to celebrities Accès Privé. In 2009 and 2010, she presented the seventh and eighth season of Nouvelle Star, succeeding to Virginie Efira. She was then replaced by Faustine Bollaert for Accès Privé from November 2010 to January 2011 due to maternity leave. She started presenting again the program from January to June 2011. It was also Faustine Bollaert who replaced her to present the Grand bêtisier des stars in December 2010.
