While the kickoff of the fifteenth season of Beijing Expressbaptized In the land of the golden eagle, was given Thursday, February 10, 2022, the production is already shooting a next edition. As our colleagues from the Parisianthis time it isa special celebrity edition. And the least we can say is that M6 and Label productions are preparing a five-star cast!
Direction Sri Lanka, 8500 kilometers from France, for a short route. Stéphane Rotenberg thus finds on site six pairs made up of at least one personality well known to viewers. Among them, Valérie Trierweiler, journalist and ex-girlfriend of the President of the Republic François Hollande. She teams up with her best friend in this Beijing Express celebrity special. Nothing very surprising! Indeed, the former First Lady is a regular at sporting events: she officiates as a faithful ambassador of honor for Elle’s Challengethese raids launched by Christelle de Koh Lanta for the prevention of breast cancer. The adventurer has moreover “changed life” by Valerie Trierweiler!
Also in the casting, the ex-Miss France Rachel Legrain-Trapani and his companion the former reality TV candidate Valentine Leonard. The sports journalist of the channel L’Equipe Yoann Riou forms a pair with Xavier Domerguecommentator for Les Bleus on M6 and new host of Who wants to be my partner? (M6). Comedian Inès Reg will also be there with his sister, as will the paralympic swimmer Theo Curin, in the race with his manager. Finally, the influencer Justriadhfollowed by more than 4 million people on Instagram, teams up with one of his friends.
This is not the first time that the channel has offered an edition with stars. Indeed, in 2010 viewers had discovered Beijing Express: Shock Duos with several well-known personalities. Then in 2012, M6 offered Beijing Express: The Mystery Passenger, where teams of two candidates from previous editions were accompanied by a facilitator. This time, in addition to celebrities, Aurore and Jonathan will ensure the second part of the evening. The couple had as a reminder been forced to give up the game in 2021 after a fatal road accident in Turkey, while filming.
