The episode he appeared in is the first of a four part documentary that tells the story of Henri Paul, the driver of the car the Princess of Wales was travelling in at the time. It spoke about the allegations that he was over the limit when the crash occurred.
Going on to discuss the different newspaper allegations at the time, Gigou said: "In France, our investigations are secret, nothing is revealed to the press. Every day there were articles with pseudo-revelations, some magazines were living off these 'scoops'.
"When you look at the CCTV from the Ritz, Mr Paul is behaving normally. He does not stagger, he seems normal. If Henri Paul had stumbled or been incoherent he would never have got behind the wheel. Did someone ask Henri to drive faster, I don't know. No one knows."
Also speaking in the documentary was police chief Martine Monteil who addressed the "pearls" at the scene of the crash which were believed to have belonged to Princess Diana.
Being one of the first to arrive at the scene, she explained that she had been looking for the tiniest details.
"We started to find these little clues," she said. "We saw signs of braking. Pieces of red light from another car. On the side of the car were traces of paint. I was obsessed with finding things because it's important.
"I even found some tiny pearls. They belonged to the Princess."
Diana, along with the driver Henri Paul and her boyfriend Dodi Fayed, was killed in the crash in Paris at the age of 36 in August 1997.
The second instalment of Investigating Diana: Death In Paris is set to air on Channel 4 tonight at 9pm.Explore more on these topics:
