While Dancing with the Stars returns very soon to TF1, Virginie Hocq revealed that she refused several times to participate. She also explains that it took her time to understand the principle of the show.
Dancing with the Stars will be back on TF1 on Friday February 7. After weeks of teasing and mysteries, the full cast of this new season – and the departures of some of the professionals – is now known. We will notably find the footballer Fair Ramithe former player of Koh Lanta Claude Dartois or even the singers Julie Zenatti et Lazy. On the other hand, still no Virginie Hocq on the horizon. It’s not for lack of asking him, however. The Belgian comedian told this Saturday, January 18 on RTL, his relationship with the TF1 program. “Every time they offered it to me, I wasn’t there”she said to Éric Dussart in We’re doing TV again. She thinks she has already refused three times before admitting that initially, she “didn’t really understand the concept” of the show.
Virginie Hocq reveals why she will not participate in Dancing with the stars
“I imagined the jury: [Patrick] Dupond, [Maurice] Béjart, who are no longer there! I didn’t understand what it was, I didn’t know if it was reality TV.” explained Virginie Hocq under the stunned gaze of Éric Dussart. And to add: “Anyway, I was on tour so I’m not going to refuse to go see the cities and the spectators for that.” Since this first proposal, which took place in the first season, the Belgian understood what it was all about. Why not take the plunge in this case? “I don’t want to, she assumes. I love dancing, honestly, it’s a passion of mine, but I feel like you have to be around a long time to do it. With all the projects I’m starting, I’m not sure I want to give it all up“.
