Let’s go for a colorful competition. On Wednesday July 6, M6 kicked off Beijing Express, shock duos. A special celebrity edition for which six personalities have lent themselves to the game accompanied by one of their relatives. We thus find the humorist Inès Reg and her big sister Anaïs, the former First Lady Valérie Trierweiler and her best friend Karine, the Paralympic champion Theo Curin and her agent Anne, the influencer Just Riadh and his best friend Abdallah, the ex-Miss (2007) Rachel Legrain-Trapani and her companion Valentine Leonard as well as sports commentators Xavier Domergue and Yoann Riou.
All of them agreed to confront the adventure that took place in Sri Lanka with the aim of surpassing themselves but also of helping the associations of their choice. However, they did not volunteer! Indeed, during a live Instagram, after the broadcast of the first episode, Rachel Legrain-Trapani made revelations and confessed to having been paid to join the cast. “We got a little stamp. It’s mandatory, in terms of insurance, it’s a work contract“, she explained.
However, we would not speak of a classic minimum wage because, according to information from Hugo Manos, the candidates obtained very good salaries. “Between 20,000 and 50,000 euros for 12 days of shooting“, affirmed the companion of Laurent Ruquier in TPMP People last February.
