“It tears my heart”

Fabienne Thibeault, who does not have her tongue in her pocket, also does not hold in her heart another program, the “Star Academy”. A year after the edition's success with Pierre Garnier, Julien Lieb and Helena, viewers are falling in love with season 12 of the program led by Ebony, Masséo, Charles and Marine.
