The fans of the star Academy have been the happiest in the world for a few days. In early May, the rumor that the show would make a comeback was formalized. Since then, everyone wants to know which personalities will have the difficult task of coaching new students. And a former participant could well be part of it.
For the new season of star Academy, the public will not find the choreographer Kamel Ouali, the actor, composer and director Oscar Sisto or the singer, actress and singing teacher Armande Altaï. Endemol France intends to bet on new faces. If for the time being, no teacher’s name has been officially announced, one of the former candidates of the emblematic program (broadcast from 2001 to 2008 on TF1) broke the silence in an Instagram story.
It was rumored that Lucie Bernardoni, finalist of season 4 (2004) against Grégory Lemarchal, had been recruited to be a singing teacher. But the wife of Patrice Maktav (candidate of season 1 in 2001) wanted to make a correction. “No one contacted me to join the Star Academy faculty. Let’s be honest: I’m not recognized enough for that. And I don’t have the same weight as a recognized artist to be contacted. It is so and I accept it. Because in their place, I would not have thought of myself. I am well aware of that. So, I dared, for once to take my phone. It was I who asked to be received by the production to discuss my job as a current music teacher, which I already practice. I thought it was great to become a teacher in the castle where I experienced so many things“, she first wrote on May 12, 2022.
It remains to be seen whether Endemol France is interested in Lucie Bernardoni’s proposal. For now, the charming brunette has confessed that she did not have “not been contacted yet“. “I found it normal to rectify things. If there is a sequel, or not, it does not depend on me, you will understand. The only thing that depends on me, and that I would not have done before, is that I no longer wait to be given opportunities that interest me. I provoke them. Especially, if I know that I worked (a lot) to allow me to do it. We’ll see if I did well“, she concluded.
The first info on the return of Star Academy
Jean-Pascal Lacoste could make his return since he revealed on May 6 in Do not touch My TV that he had been offered”a good role within the castle“.”A role of director, CPE, advising students, giving them a little experience…“, had confided the fiancé of Delphine Tellier. What is certain is that it is once again to Nikos Aliagas that we turned to present the new season of the star Academy. And the students will have the pleasure of putting their suitcases down at the mythical Château des Vives-Eaux in Dammarie-les-Lys. “The show could be broadcast next fall, Most certainly in October, after the broadcast of The Voice Kids”, had specified a technician who works on this project at the Parisian. No sooner was the casting open than the production was overwhelmed with applications. There were no less than 10,000 files in forty-eight hours! Just like the names of the teachers, that of the director or the godfather were not revealed.
