In a surprising turn of events on the popular dance competition show, Danse avec les stars, former Miss France 2024, Ève Gilles, was eliminated after the seventh prime. The episode showcased a fierce competition, where Gilles performed a paso doble to "XXL" by Mylène Farmer, alongside her partner Nino Mosa and choreographer Fauve Hautot. Despite their efforts, the trio garnered only 31 points from the jury, a score deemed insufficient to keep them in the running.
The competition intensified as Gilles and Mosa found themselves in a face-to-face elimination round against fellow contestants Florent Manaudou and Elsa Bois, as well as Adil Rami and Ana Riera, who had also received the fewest votes from the public. For this critical round, the couples were tasked with dancing a samba to Nâdiya's "Et c'est parti...". Unfortunately for Gilles and Mosa, the viewers chose not to save them, marking a premature end to their journey in the competition.
Following her elimination, Ève Gilles expressed her disappointment at leaving the show so early. "I’m very happy to have done this adventure with you," she told Mosa during their farewell on stage, her voice thick with emotion. She later reiterated her sentiments in an interview with TF1+, stating, "I got attached. It’s going to feel strange not to see him again." Mosa echoed her feelings, hoping they would have the chance to reconnect and reminisce about their experiences over the past seven weeks.
Gilles, who is the fourth celebrity to exit the competition this season, following Nelson Monfort, Sophie Davant, and Charlotte de Turckheim, reflected on her time in the competition with a sense of pride despite the disappointment. "The last prime was a good experience, even if it was hyper hard and intense non-stop," she admitted, emphasizing the positive aspects of her journey.
As she prepares to return to her hometown of Quaëdypre in northern France, Gilles shared her excitement about reuniting with her family and pets. "I’m going back to the North. I’m going to see my little family, my boyfriend, and my animals," she said, her voice filled with anticipation. She also revealed that her partner, Simon, who had danced alongside her during the mystery guests' prime, would be waiting for her return.
While Gilles has left the dance floor, she hinted at future projects, though she remained tight-lipped about the specifics. "I have new projects planned, but I can’t reveal anything yet," she teased, leaving fans curious about what lies ahead for the former beauty queen.
As the competition continues, the remaining couples will face new challenges and performances, keeping audiences eagerly tuned in every Friday evening at 21:05 on TF1. The stakes are high as they battle for the title of champion in this beloved dance show.
