After a word about his debut in “DALS”, Anthony Colette thanked the public and all the teams of the program, before adding: “ It would be a lie to pretend that I voluntarily chose to end this adventure now.

Anthony Colette, collateral victim of the “Inès Reg-Natasha St-Pier affair”?
Is the forced departure of Anthony Colette linked to the “Inès Reg-Natasha St-Pier affair”? Everything suggests yes, as this story disrupted the course of season 13 broadcast last year. The strong tensions between the comedian and the singer ended at the police station with handrails being handed over. Injured and exhausted, Anthony Colette finally won the trophy with Natasha St-Pier, just ahead of Inès Reg and her partner Christophe Licata.
In a confession book that he has just published, Christophe Licata also returned to this affair which greatly affected him too. But the production and TF1 finally decided: he was recalled and will make an unexpected return to the floor on February 7, when Anthony Colette packs up.
