The former Miss France made her wildest dream come true last night on the show Dancing with the Stars on TF1: calling Patrick Dempsey, her lifelong crush. A very funny moment from the show thanks to James Denton who knew how to play matchmaker brilliantly.
So many emotions for Diane Leyre this Friday, March 22! First of all, for the first time since the launch of the 2024 edition, the Danse ave les Stars premiere was live. A lot of pressure for her and the nine other candidates still in the running, namely Cristina Cordula, James Denton, Natasha St-Pier, Black M, Ines Reg, Roman Doduik, Adeline Toniutti, Keiona and Nico Capone.
But that’s not all… During the show’s after-party, the mischievous James Denton, knowing Diane Leyre’s weakness for the famous Doctor Mamour from Grey’s Anatomy, decided to call her live. He dials Patrick Dempsey’s number, which was in his directory, and hands the phone to the bubbly brunette, completely excited to know that she will finally be able to speak to Patrick Dempsey.

Miss France 2022, fan of Patrick Dempsey forever
It was Camille Combal who made this amusing revelation during the Dancing with the Stars after-party: “ During rehearsals we learned something about Diane Leyre. We learned that she had a crush on someone! But don’t worry, he’s not here. He’s in America! » Diane Leyre quickly understands who it is and expresses her joy by shouting “ It’s Patriiiiiiiiick ! » .
A sequence of rehearsals then reveals to the public that she is indeed crazy about the handsome Doctor from Grey’s Anatomy and that she had even tried to extort his number from James Denton! “She’s calling the bluff.” I’m a long time friend of Patrick Dempsey but I lost his number. I know he’s worried about not being able to reach me. » James Denton, responds surprised and incredulous “ Oh yes ? Really ? “. More determined than ever, the beautiful brunette does not let herself be discouraged and adds with humor “ He doesn’t know we’ve had a date for two but it’ll do! »

After the broadcast of the rehearsal sequence, Camille Combal said to James Denton “ Do you really have Patrick’s number? » The American actor confirms « And yes, we were on the ABC channel on Sunday evening, us at 8 p.m. and them at 10 p.m., so yes I know him and I have his number! »
As James Denton prepares to dial his number, Diane Leyre exclaims “ In Face time, I look beautiful tonight! “. James Denton then calls the famous Patrick but gets his answering machine. Diane Leyre, visibly moved, then left him a message “ Hello Patrick! It’s Diane, are you okay? I lost my phone and you lost my number (…). I’m currently on the set of Dancing with the Stars, with James Denton, my best friend. You can call me back ? We’re waiting for you for the next season of Dancing with the Stars. » James Denton then adds, dying of laughter “ He’s going to block me! “. It remains to be seen whether Patrick Dempsey will recall the former Miss France! It would be a nice consolation for the candidate eliminated last night during this first Dancing with the Stars bonus.
