It has been almost 15 years since Magali Ripoll takes on the role of backing vocalist in Do not forget the lyrics. And in as many years, the singer necessarily has a lot of anecdotes in mind. But above all, she is one of the only members of the team to know the show’s best-kept secret. To know, Cruella’s facethe voice-over of the France 2 game. It is a certain Gaëlle Leroy who hides behind this character, who is never visible on the screen, nor detectable behind the scenes.
This was revealed by Magali Ripoll during an interview for Here is published this Thursday, October 20. “There is a very funny thing and it concerns Cruella. The vast majority of people who work on Do not forget the lyricswho are really on the set like the security service, the hostesses and the public, do not know who she is! Nobody knows who it is. It’s awesome !“, she let go, very happy that the mystery still hangs after so many years. And to continue: “Even the maestros don’t know who she is! She is already not visible on the board, but in a special place to work.”
Thus, Cruella has the opportunity to walk around as she wants and even to meet everyone “in a corridor to go to the canteen“without anyone recognizing her.”Candidates are refused to see it but in the end no one really asks. The audience and dancers who set the mood on set also don’t know who she is“, confided again the one who has a very strict lifestyle. Magali Ripoll then kindly gave clues about Cruella’s appearance. With humor of course.She is horrible and full of hair. And the teeth lying on the ground, it’s filthy. What is funny is that this is not the case at all! I hope one day it will be revealed!“, she concluded.
In any case, Magali Ripoll intends to stick around and continue to guide the candidates of Do not forget the lyrics as long as he still likes it. “I know myself and if I feel trapped, I run straight away. I didn’t choose to be an artist to be locked up. We collaborate with people who have the same mentality as us and it goes very well“, she explained to our colleagues.
