The new season of Mask Singer starts this Tuesday, August 23, 2022! This year, twelve new contestants were cast to slip into a costume and perform well-known songs. But there will be more to unmask since the production has reserved several surprises with guest candidates for single episodes or who will arrive during the competition. It is a largely renewed jury which will be responsible for unmasking them, made up of Kev Adams, Jeff Panacloc, Chantal Ladesou and Vitaa.
“I’m having a blast playing the investigators! I’m like a kid, looking from beginning to end. From the first magnetos, I’m fully“, confided with enthusiasm the latter for Entertainment TV, very happy to have joined the adventure. “I find myself in a role that makes me feel good because it’s a completely different exercise. I find myself having fun while the shooting days are very, very longs“, she added.
Precisely, Vitaa may have had a great experience, but it was not easy because of the distance with his children, born of her love with her husband Hicham Bendaoud, Liham (11 years old), Adam (7 years old) and especially with the youngest Noa, born in April. “The advantage with Mask Singer, is that we have eight days of shooting. These are big days, but it does not mobilize three months like The Voice. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have done it. This is the first time I’ve been away from my daughter for so long, it wasn’t easy. I took her on tour with me when she was only 2 months old! There, during the recordings, she stayed with her father.e,” she reported.
His daughters-in-law to the rescue
During his absence, Vitaa was also able to count on her husband’s first children, very committed babysitters! “My daughters-in-law came to babysit Noa as well. They sent me pictures and videos that I watched whenever we had a break“, explained the singer, thus for the first time confiding in this other side of her family.
During an interview for Gala in the past, Vitaa had all the same already made it known that Hicham Bendaoud was already a dad at the time of their meeting. “At twenty-five, I fell in love with Hicham. He is thirty years old, charismatic, already has children, but is separated from his wife. At the time, when he looked at me, I saw Charlotte in his eyes, not Vitaa. (…) I was emotionally lost, I didn’t know who to trust anymore. I resisted him as much as I could, but he was very persistent, and when I realized he was the man of my life, I gave in.“, she confessed.
