On February 7, TF1 will launch the 14th season of Dancing with the stars. After a very satisfactory 2024 edition in terms of audiences, the channel wants to do at least as well. To achieve this, the production chose to rely on a multi-generational casting, made up of 12 personalities from varied backgrounds. Viewers will be able to follow the adventure of Lazy (Star Academy), Florent Manaudou, Sophie Davant, Franck Leboeuf, Mayane (Un p'tit truc en plus), Adil Rami, Jungeli, Nelson Monfort, Julie Zenatti, Charlotte de Turckheim, Claude (Koh-Lanta) and Eve Gilles ( Miss France 2024).
For Chris Marques, once again a juror alongside Mel Charlot, Fauve Hautot and Jean-Marc Généreux, it is nothing less than an exceptional casting. “We are on five stars, even six stars! Every week, when a candidate was officially announced, we thought we had reached the top. Well no! We were still surprised the following week“, he explains to us.

-“I went through a lot of self-questioning before starting Dancing with the Stars. It didn't just happen. At first I asked myself if I was capable of it. Do I feel like going back into something so intense? Physically, emotionally, spiritually… This needs to be taken into account. Ultimately, it took a long time before I said yes and totally went for it. “, she explains to us.

During her reflection, the young artist also thought about the potential reactions of the public. However, Lénie does not want her fans' expectations to be the sole factor in her decisions. “I wondered how people would take it, even though I know that my desires come first. I don't want to disappoint the people who follow me, I want to pass on something cool to them. I don't want to be 'the girl from the shows', I'm an artist. This is what is extremely important“, adds the interpreter of Without you.
