On Tuesday January 14, 2025, the students of the Star Academy castle received a famous chef known on social networks. And obviously, Marine has completely fallen under his spell!
Saturday January 11, 2025 will remain engraved in the memory of Marine, emblematic candidate of the 2024 class of the Star Academy. At 24, this young woman from Nord-Pas-de-Calais won her place in the final. When Nikos Aliagas said his name live, Marine remained speechless, she who, at the start of the adventure, thought she would be eliminated in the first week. It was only the next day, during the debrief orchestrated by Marlène Schaff, that Marine became fully aware of her accomplishment. “Maybe it’s a dream come true,” she confided with emotion while evoking “a personal revenge”. In fact, ten years earlier, she had participated in The Voice Kidsan experience marked by a failure that she never forgot. Today, this adventure offers him a second chance to show his talent to the whole of France and why not, win a tele-hook for the first time…
Star Academy: Marine still without filter in the confessional
In full preparation for the second semi-final between Ebony and Franck, Marine and her comrades were treated to a parenthesis as delicious as it was unexpected: the visit of chef Julien Sebbag. This cook, well known on social networks, hosted a culinary workshop in which he shared his know-how and his passion. After preparing a meal together, the academicians continued the evening around the table, where the discussions took a more personal turn. Julien Sebbag, intrigued by their future plans, questioned everyone about their ambitions after the show. Marine, true to herself, did not hesitate to share her dreams: “I plan to stay in the North for a bit to work as a dentist, but then I would like to move. Maybe near the sea or the mountains.” Exchanges which clearly did not leave Marine indifferent. In the confessional, she confided that she was totally charmed by the young chef: “He’s super nice… and honestly, not unpleasant to look at, if I may say so!”
Recurring favorites
Marine is not the first publicly expressed crush. During a previous daily, she revealed her admiration for the actor Vassili Schneider. Determined, she even took advantage of a rehearsal with Charlotte Cardin, the actor’s sister-in-law, to send him a message. With a mischievous smile, she said: “If you see Vassili, you can tell him that… I would like to meet him and have a drink with him.” An audacity which amused the Quebec singer, who promised to pass on the information. But TF1, always ready to surprise, had another surprise in store for Marine during its semi-final. On stage, the young woman received a video from Vassili Schneider in person. The actor, touched by Marine’s attention, sent her encouragement: “I learned that you follow my work, that makes me very happy. I will also follow what you do.” He then concluded: “I hope we will have the opportunity to cross paths one day.”
