Sad news for the faithful of “Dancing with the stars”. This July 28, Maxime Dereymez announced on Instagram his departure from the TF1 program. And the same day, in a video posted on TikTok, the professional dancer did not hesitate to attack the new jury…
Present since the launch of the show, Maxime Dereymez has decided to turn his back on Dance with the stars. Like Christian Millette and Denitsa Ikonomova, the historical dancer therefore officially bows out. “Dals and I will not celebrate our 12th candle. And it is not without emotion, because this show will have literally changed my life. I have invested 300% each season, on each scene to offer the best of myself, to sublimate my partners and to honor this magnificent position as coach and choreographer.”, wrote Maxime Dereymez on Instagram this July 28 in the caption of a series of photos with his former partners, including Shy’m. The opportunity also for the artist to discuss his career in the entertainment broadcast by the first channel. “This repeated challenge will have nourished me, inspired me and opened doors to other horizons. I thank the public because your support, your kindness, your loyalty, your comments, your messages and your criticisms have always helped and carried me a lot. Thanks also to TF1 for putting ballroom dancing in the spotlight”continued Maxime Dereymez who “remain very optimistic” about his future projects. Only here, behind the scenes, the one whose last partner in the prosecution was Lââm distinguished himself by a media release. In a sequence broadcast on TikTok the same day, the sports dance specialist addressed a tackle to the two new members of the jury: Marie-Agnès Gillot and Bilal Hassani. “It’s still a show that is based on ballroom dancing. When you don’t have a vocabulary to judge ballroom dancing, it’s problematic“, he wondered. And to conclude: “It is a choice of TF1 which is very bizarre.”
Dancing with the stars: a 12th edition under the sign of change
This 12th season of dals will be marked by many novelties. Starting with a new original jury composed of Bilal Hassani, Marie-Agnès Gillot (replacing Jean-Paul Gaultier and Denitsa Ikonomova), François Alu and Chris Marques. “For me, there is a dancer who knows ballroom dancing”indicated Maxime Dereymez on TikTok, referring to the companion of Jaclyn Spencer.
Another upheaval: Karine Ferri abandons the presentation of Dals the debrief. “It’s my decision”had explained the companion of Yoann Gourcuff on Instagram on June 29. “TF1 knew how to listen to my desires and respect my choice. I thank them for that. I loved working on this program, rich in emotions, twists and turns, with a wonderful team”, had declared the facilitator on the social network. It remains to be seen whether other personalities will leave the TF1 floor at the start of the school year.
