Every year, that’s what we say to ourselves when we discover certain Dals candidates, who seem to us only known to their baker… And over the course of the show’s seasons, the real stars have often been the dancers. Except that for the twelfth edition, scheduled for the fall, several of these pillars will be absent…

Excluded by a prod eager for change. Thus, Maxime Dereymez, there since the beginning of the show, and partner of Sofia Essaïdi, Pamela Anderson or even Shy’m, whom he had taken to victory in 2011. He is not the only one to find himself at the unemployment: his friend Christian Millette suffered the same fate, he who admitted on Insta that “it [lui] would have been happy to participate in the next season”… Just like the newcomers of 2021 Coralie Licata, Joël Luzolo and Samuel Texier, also thanked. A tough choice for some. “Ihere is a real lack of respect and recognition towards the historical, says a dancer. They kicked us out because stars need to be stars again, and we’re too well known. It’s not correct.”
Their replacements? They will notably be chosen by Internet users in a new game, Who will be the best dancer?, offered on myTF1. Nevertheless, five pros thrown away is a lot! Especially since another mascot of the program will not return: Denitsa Ikonomova, who lifted the trophy four times before joining the jury last year! While Jean-Paul Gaultier will be replaced by Bilal Hassani, she gave way to star Marie-Agnès Gillot, who had turned down the job three times. An astonishing defection on the part of the beautiful Bulgarian, who loved this new role alongside her accomplice François Alu…
But she received an enticing offer from TF1, as we reveal to you exclusively: “She was offered a very large check to become the choreographer of Star Ac!” Direction Dammarie-les-Lys, therefore, far from his ex-colleagues Fauve Hautot, Anthony Colette, Jordan Mouillerac, Candice Pascal, Inès Vandamme or Christophe Licata, who remain on the show. They will have the heavy task of coaching this year’s candidates, including Billy Crawford, Anggun, David Douillet, Az, Clémence Castel, Anne Sila, Amandine Petit, Carla Lazzari, and Malcolm actor Frankie Muniz.
It remains to be seen whether the ousted dancers will watch this season from their sofa… It’s hard to appreciate jive and fox-trot when you’re no longer in the dance!
