End clap for Anthony Colette! After an explosive season marked by a violent altercation and a huge media scandal surrounding Natasha St-Pier and Inès Reg, the dancer announces that he is leaving “Dancing with the Stars”. “ Thanks for the memories. I was 15 years old, in my parents’ living room, a new TV show was appearing: “Dancing with the Stars”. A few years later, I found myself on that same show, live, as a professional dancer. And a few more years later, with my partner, we held up the victory trophy together, in tears. The circle is now closed » writes on Instagram the one who accompanied Natasha St-Pier during the previous edition, despite criticism, threats and physical pain.

“I don’t necessarily understand the reasons”
If Christophe Licata will be back, Anthony Colette is now ready to turn the page on “DALS” after six seasons on TF1, after being ousted by production. “ Today, it’s time to say thank you to the public and to all the teams working on this program. It would be a lie to pretend that I voluntarily chose to end this adventure now » writes the professional dancer, who is therefore not at the origin of this sudden departure: “ I’m also not going to pretend that it was the right time, because I haven’t decided anything. I don’t necessarily understand the reasons for my absence, of course, but life has decided otherwise, and I must accept “. Thus, Anthony Colette wants to leave with his head held high, without entering into controversy: “ Don’t worry, I won’t criticize this program that I loved so much, nor all the wonderful people I had the chance to meet ».
The 29-year-old dancer hope that this magical parquet floor continues to make people dream for a long time to come ”, and sends his thoughts to the “ new young dancers » which will integrate “Dancing with the Stars” for this new season. But he doesn’t leave without a little tear in his eye: “ I have a huge thought for my friends and fellow dancers, who I will miss a lot, and I thank them for all these beautiful moments spent alongside them. And above all, I thank all my partners. Yes, I sincerely thank them for sharing so many unforgettable memories with me “. Anthony Colette is now looking towards the future: “ Other things await me. Life is like this, you have to know how to adapt, so I will adapt. Know that I don’t regret anything, except perhaps having been too kind and naive sometimes, if I may say so. I did my best every year. It was my last season, my last dance ».
