On Friday evening, March 14, 2025, Danse avec les stars returned to TF1 after a one-week break caused by the broadcast of the Enfoirés concert. This week’s episode was dedicated to cinema and cult series, providing a vibrant night of performances and drama.
Among the returning contestants were Charlotte de Turckheim, Florent Manaudou, and Adil Rami, who all showcased their skills on the dance floor. Charlotte faced major scrutiny going up against the famous swimmer, Florent Manaudou. The evening had its ups and downs, particularly for former French football star Frank Lebœuf, who participated on crutches after suffering an injury. He confirmed at the beginning of the show he would not be dancing due to his condition and warned viewers he might have to withdraw from the competition if he can't recover.
Adil Rami made headlines by securing the first perfect score of the season with 10 out of 10 from juror Mel Charlot for his Argentine tango to Adele's smash hit “Skyfall.” This impressive performance catapulted him to the top of the leaderboard alongside Lénie and Jungeli, both of whom also captivated the judges with their routines. Rami's performance underscored his determination and commitment to the competition.
The night took a dramatic turn when Charlotte de Turckheim found herself embroiled in elimination drama. After performing her foxtrot to "Comme un ouragan" by Stéphanie de Monaco, Charlotte ended up at the bottom of the leaderboard. She and her partner, Yann-Alrick Mortreuil, faced off against Florent Manaudou and his dance partner, Elsa Bois. The tension built as the audience awaited the announcement of who would continue on the show.
Despite her efforts, Charlotte was unable to overcome the momentum set by Florent, who had earlier delivered a stunning paso doble inspired by “Mission: Impossible.” The audience's decision went against Charlotte, and she was sadly announced as the latest elimination from the competition. "Charlotte de Turckheim and Yann-Alrick Mortreuil left the show on Friday, March 14, 2025," confirmed sources shortly after the results.
Following her exit, frustrations ran high among fellow contestants, voicing their disappointment over the loss of Charlotte. Notably, former contestant Sophie Davant made waves during the episode, wowing audiences as she dressed as Marilyn Monroe, capturing not only the judges’ attention but creating buzz among viewers too. "I’m happy to be here!" she expressed, remarkably embracing her former role as she engaged with the current participants. Social media was abuzz with admiration for her appearance, indicating fans cherished her re-entry, even momentarily, following her own departure from the show.
The season of Danse avec les stars is undoubtedly heating up as it draws closer to its climax. With nine remaining contestants, including notable figures like Lénie, Eve Gilles, Mayane, Claude Dartois, Julie Zenatti, and Jungeli, the competition continues to evolve, showcasing their various talents and backgrounds. Each contestant now faces the tightening race toward the coveted title.
Frank Lebœuf’s situation adds additional drama, as the former football star risks elimination without the chance to dance if he doesn’t recover soon. Expectations are high as the competition moves forward without Charlotte, who was seen as a fiery contender.
With each episode, fans eagerly wait to see who will rise to the occasion and who will falter under pressure. The upcoming practices will be pivotal for everyone involved, as they strive to secure their places for the next phase of this lively dance extravaganza. Who will emerge victorious as the competition approaches its conclusion?
