Secrets and exclusive anecdotes collected from the host of Secret Story:
Hush on the fall
“ I fell into a hole on the set of Secret Story on the day of the launch, two hours before the broadcast. I was filming a trailer, the audience was there… My leg hurt like hell, I was bleeding, I even tore my pants. Two months later, I still have a scar!“
Royal Canin
“ My dog Madame is the best anti-depression remedy for candidates excluded from the house of secrets. She is always behind the scenes of the show and she comes to hug everyone who is depressed! She is my most loyal colleague… and the hairiest!“
Messed up casting
“ I missed a casting call for a show that Cyril Féraud finally presented! It was Art Attack on Disney Channel, you had to create an object and explain it in an educational way to the children. It was a disaster, I got stressed: the disaster in the image. The caster on the other side was dying of laughter. A few years later it was a program that Cyril Féraud presented. He must have been better than me at casting!“
Name of name!
“ For the 9th season of Secret Story, they cast a candidate whose secret was ‘my name is Christophe Beaugrand’. A namesake, nothing to do with my family. He was ultimately not included in the final casting.“
Without Valentine
“ My son Valentin only likes Ninja Warrior in the shows that I present because – I quote – ‘there are men who fall into the swimming pool!’ He just wanted to come to the Secret Story studio because he saw that there was a ball pit in the living room.“
