“It’s horror”
We are in 2002 during season 2 of “Star Academy”. And after a discussion between Alexia Laroche-Joubert and the duo Georges-Alain and Houcine, the two students decide to pack their bags and leave! The reason for this heated exchange? “ They kicked in a door and bothered Nolwenn [Leroy] » recalled the former director of the show on the set of “Enfants de la télé”: “ I go up and yell at them so much that the guys say, “No problem, we're leaving.” And then I say to myself: “How do I explain to them that they have to stay anyway?” Maybe I went too far… It was Kamel Ouali who came to the rescue to get them back “. Enough to make him say today that these two students “ were two idiots » and that Georges-Alain had “ a big character ».
For his part, in the show “Buzz TV”, Kamel Ouali also returned to this very eventful evening: “ In the middle of the night, Alexia calls me: “Kamel is horrible, there are Houcine and Georges-Alain who want to leave the castle, I know the respect they have for you, you have to come.” There was a car waiting for me outside my house “. There he then left towards the castle at around three in the morning: “ They were with their luggage ready to leave » remembers Kamel Ouali who used diplomacy to calm the two troublemaking students: “ I spoke to them, not like the teacher but like the big brother. I told them it was unique, that it was once in their life. I told them “The door is open, you can break away but you will never be able to come back. It is an experience that you will remember for the rest of your life. You have one card to play, it is now, not tomorrow” “. Result ? “ They left, they went to bed » he concludes.
