This year, producers of Dance with the stars have decided to add a little spice to the competition. Thus, new rules have been made, such as giving size power only to Chris Marques. And this Friday, September 30, the nine candidates still in the running were faced with an unprecedented challenge in the history of the show.
In effect, Billy Crawford, Stéphane Legar, Carla Lazzari, Anggun, Eva, Thomas Da Costa, Florent Peyre, Amandine Petit and Léa Elui were surprised by mystery dancers dancing. They then had to do everything to adapt to their arrival during the last seconds of their performance without knowing who was hiding behind the masks.
For Lea Elui who danced with his partner Christophe Licata on an American Smooth on the song Le sens de famille by Grand Corps Malade and Leïla Bekhti, the emotion was really very strong. And for good reason, the mystery dancer was his grandmother Danielle. The latter surprised her granddaughter by inviting herself to the floor. She then came to his back before patting his shoulder. When the influencer turned around, she immediately burst into tears, not being able to come to her senses and continue her choreography.
You are very touching
“You three are very touching” commented the juror Marie-Agnès Gillot, while Léa Elui hugged her grandmother. As a reminder, Léa Elui was one of the sensations of this new cast, since she is an absolute star of social networks. She does not count less than 17 million subscribers on TikTok, as well as 11 on Instagram and 1 on YouTube She made a name for herself in 2016 by posting belly dance videos on the networks, before creating humorous videos and makeup tutorials and hairstyling on Instagram and YouTube, but paradoxically, she’s pretty quiet when it comes to talking about her private life.
If she recently appeared as a couple during the Etam Fashion Week show with her darling Scott Morton – who works at the prestigious Wilhelmina Models agency in London – she very rarely talks about her family. It was therefore with great emotion that she welcomed her grandmother on the set of DALS.
