She has also had a regular role from the fourth to the sixth season of Fais pas ci, fais pas ça (2007), series in which Belgian comedian Stéphane De Groodt also had a guest role in the sixth season. She played a small role in the fifth season of comedy series Scènes de ménages (2009) where she portrayed an assistant of one of the main characters, and later in one episode of comedy series Nos chers voisins (2012) where she had a guest role in a special broadcast.
