“I went into the adventure reluctantly. You can’t do it and it becomes torture. I wasn’t comfortable, I felt naked. A man who is close, etc. However, I love dancing. In rehearsal, I was tearing up my performances. But as soon as there were the cameras, it was as if I no longer had any legs,” testified a former candidate in an interview for Here.

This ex-participant is Chimène Badi, partner of dancer Julien Brugel in 2012. The interpreter of “Entre nous” says it loud and clear: she never plans to participate in “Dancing with the Stars” again. The 42-year-old singer has rather bad memories of this experience, even if she “does not criticize the show at all”, which she finds “magnificent”. She explains: “I just wasn’t cut out for this program. I knew it, but I was pushed to do it. And at the time, I still didn’t have the strength to say no. What I can do today. » As a reminder, during season 3, Chimène came in eighth place (out of ten). In the final, Emmanuel Moire won the trophy against Amel Bent and Taïg Khris.
