50’Inside, Star Academy, The Voice, The Secret Song, the NRJ Music Awards… There are countless cult programs presented or still presented by Nikos Aliagas. For more than twenty years, the host has established himself in the audiovisual world, becoming an emblematic figure of TF1. To salute his career, TMC devotes a documentary to him this Wednesday, February 9, 2022 called Real Nikos, in the shadow of the lights. On the program: archive images, testimonials from his closest entourage, but also very personal secrets from the host. The one who has always undertaken to give others a voice this time exposes himself and talks about his journey since his childhood.
In the film, already available on the platform somersault, Nikos Aliagas evokes in particular his partner Tina Grigoriou with whom he has flourished for several years and had two children, Agathe (10 years old) and Andréas (6 years old). And as much to say that there is no lack of praise for him. “She makes me feel good, she fixed me, in my fears, in my doubts, she’s a strong woman, she’s a brilliant womanand I think she’s on the safe side with all of this, and I need her“, he declares.
At a good distance because, in fact, Tina Grigoriou has nothing to do with the activities of her man. She evolves discreetly on her side as a doctor in London and only appears on rare occasions at public events. “You don’t see her often, she doesn’t like to show offshe’s rightexplains Nikos Aliagas. From time to time, she agrees to come with me on a red carpet, so it amuses her. It’s not his world at allbut in the end, we laugh like kids.“A modesty that imposed itself on everything”naturally“as he puts it:”We don’t hide and at the same time, we don’t show ourselves. Meaning we try to do it naturally, we try not to show our kids. But I’m a public figure and that’s part of the game.“
Confidences to discover this evening in Real Nikos, in the shadow of the lights from 9:15 p.m., on TMC.
