After finishing her reign as Miss France, Ève Gilles has embarked on various adventures, yet this opportunity with Danse avec les Stars stands out. Notably, this is not her first venture in dancing; she had previously taught dance to young girls back home before her rise to fame as Miss France. Her background suggests she will bring grace and poise to the dance floor, and fans are eager to see how her skills will translate to the show.
During her reign, Gilles actively participated in numerous public engagements and TV appearances, showcasing her vibrant personality.

Each contestant brings their unique flair and background to the dance competition.
With each announcement of cast members, excitement builds for the show's return.

The anticipation of the new season also opens discussions about the format and potential surprises for viewers. While the official air date remains unconfirmed, the hype around this year’s lineup reflects the show’s standing as one of France's entertainment cornerstones.
What’s more, the interactions during the announcement also captured the audience’s attention.
