Will the production of “Secret Story” cancel Lou’s buzz about Francesca and Charlène’s secret?

“Are you confirming to me that you don’t know each other? » Tuesday evening on TF1, Christophe Beaugrand made sure with Cameron and Charlène, then later with Lou and Léo, before their joint entry into the house of secrets, that they were indeed meeting each other for the first time. A question which is not trivial since one of the fundamental principles of ” Secret Story “ is to confront candidates who have never met before so that the protection of their secret has real meaning.

For this season 12, the Endemol France production teams have selected fifteen candidates with a sunny personality and a very playful character. A seemingly successful casting but which has a major flaw: that of bringing together several people potentially known to the general public, whether through the media or on social networks.

Hundreds of thousands of subscribers for Francesca and Charlène

In this house of secrets, some residents have already encountered each other in the past and others have already been aware of the content creators’ publications. Although this does not necessarily imply that the secret defended by each party is known, it could potentially impact the smooth running of the game.

This is what happens to Francesca Piemontese And Charlene Di Maria, two young women who enter the game separately, but with a common secret (“We are a couple”), careful not to let anyone see anything of their relationship. Because for several years, the 28-year-old Italian and the 26-year-old Cannes resident have openly displayed their love on TikTok and Instagram where they have several hundred thousand subscribers.

Lou already knew Francesca and Charlène’s secret in “Secret Story”

Among them, Lou Videau seconds after entering the house of secrets, pointed out to Francesca that she was following his posts on TikTok. “That’s right, do you follow my wine videos?” », reacted the Italian sommelier in an attempt to cover her tracks. A few minutes later, as part of a first test where it was necessary to arbitrarily burst another candidate’s balloon, Lou chose Justine’s, convinced that she was dealing with Francesca’s partner. ” You are two “threw him the Marseillaise.

A few extra hours in the game allowed Lou to refine his observations and identify Charlène as Francesca’s true half. During its buzz broadcast in the daily “Secret Story” last Friday and the face-to-face revealed the next day on TF1, the truth was suppressed. Lou pretended to have noticed similarities between Charlène and Francesca while the latter feigned surprise.

“Oh the acting!” They are strong”commented the Marseillaise after witnessing a bad bluff scene. “I know I’m good”, she said before entering the confessional. And to come out having confirmed a buzz which will fill his personal kitty with a potential 20,000 euros. An ethical question now arises: having knowledge of the situation, will production intervene? During season 9 of “Secret Story”, Rémi Notta informed the Endemol teams that he knew two other candidates: the twins Émilie and Loïc Fiorelli.
