De Turckheim's approach to the show's challenges reflects her extensive experience as both performer and actress. She discussed the unique intimacy involved when dancing with Mortreuil, admitting, "We, actors, are used to kissing men we don't know. I've found myself in beds with guys I just met at makeup! Normally, we shouldn't do this with our dancers!" This lighthearted comment highlights her comfort with the proximity required of contestants, indicating her readiness to embrace the physicality of dance.
Interestingly, the camaraderie between de Turckheim and Mortreuil was immediate. She expressed her delight upon discovering he'd be her partner, exclaiming, "I was overjoyed because it was with him I did my dance audition. I found him to be such a good dancer, but more so, he’s pedagogical and nice. I was crossing my fingers it would be him; I was relieved right away!"
De Turckheim's admiration for her partner extends beyond technical skills. She describes Mortreuil as "extraordinary," appreciating not only his dancing prowess but also his personal background and kindness. "I've been so lucky to have him; they've found me the pearl of the islands," she shared, illustrating the trust they are developing as performing partners.
Yet, de Turckheim's participation is more than just glitter and dance; she also faces personal challenges. She reveals dealing with cruralgia, a persistent pain condition, which adds another layer to her performances. Still, she maintains optimism, stating, "This boy is extraordinary. He reassures me through my pain and pushes me to perform my best." This burgeoning bond is also evident as she humorously noted, "I see more of Yann-Alrick than my own family!"
