Saturday March 11, 2023, the faithful of 50mn Inside had a date with a new issue of this show on TF1. On the program, a meeting for Nikos Aliagas with Tina Arena. The Australian-Italian singer is well known in France. In 1999, his single Go higher made him known to the four corners of France. The record has sold over 600,000 copies. Appointed to music victories 2000 in category Group or Artist Revelationshe won the NRJ Music Award for international revelation of the year.
Not to mention that she joined the Enfoirés troupe several times, from 2007 to 2011 and one last time in 2014.
With the host, the artist notably returned to her participation in Dance with the stars. Not in France but in his native country, Australia. It was in 2013. Alongside Damian Whitewood, ex-partner of Pamela Anderson in the American version in 2010, she propelled herself to the final but will fail in third place.
A great performance that left its mark. “I was hurt. But not only physically, mentally too”, she recalled. The fifty-year-old went on to explain that these weeks of intensive training had consequences and not just any. “Because when you play sports at this level, athletic level, the body changes, it’s normal. So that triggered things: I entered perimenopause. I was young anyway, I was not not old… but more and more women are entering this younger phase”
Tina Arena, who will be at the Salle Pleyel in Paris in November 2023 for a highly anticipated concert, had been contacted in the past to participate in the French version. But on several occasions, the star had declined. We now understand why!
