Anthony Colette saw doctors after the final of Dancing with the Stars 2024 : “I’m going to get treatment“
Tele-Leisure : How are you three days after your victory?
Anthony Colette : Honestly, I’m very tired but extremely happy with what happened. The result is incredible, I am in heaven! My back and ankles were very sore. It’s the first time that I gave so much of my body and soul over a season but I had never had a partner who trained as much as Natasha. She was starting from zero, or even below! What she managed to achieve in the final was incredible. She’s a real fighter, that’s what made me want to push beyond my limits. I had lumbago, an osteopath followed me several times a day because I didn’t want to give up. Today I’m broken but so happy that I pass over [rires].

Were you able to see a doctor?
Of course. Now I’m going to get treatment, take time for myself, go on vacation with my sweetheart. Doctors advised me to go a month or two without dancing. From there, everything will be fine.
Anthony Colette opens up about his relationship with Natasha St-Pier: “We will continue to keep in touch“
Natasha says that you had a very strong commitment to her…
I couldn’t let go of her. At the end of the show, everyone told me that I had a very pale complexion. The pain was unbearable but I had to see it through to the end because Natasha is not a dancer and she was afraid of this final; It’s normal, it’s not his job. I didn’t want to let her down and have her regrets. I managed to carry it to the end and I am very proud of it.
She said you were her brother at heart. Does this affect you?
She’s my big sister at heart too. When she arrived on the first day, I was very intimidated. I felt like it was my first season. During this edition, a lot of things happened, it brought us extremely close because we had to support each other. Something magical was formed between us. We will continue to keep in touch. She taught me a lot of things as a human being. Everyone should meet a person like Natasha in their life.
