Star Academy producer Mathieu Vergne takes stock of this new season, an opportunity for him to come back to the fall of presenter Nikos Aliagas during the program’s fifth prime on November 12.
The castle of Dammarie-les-Lys closed its doors last Saturday after six weeks of competition for the 13 academicians. It is with happiness that the viewers were able to find the flagship program, Star Academy, on October 15 after more than 10 years of absence. A colorful season with endearing personalities like those of Léa, Julien, Louis or the big winner Anisha.
Each week, the students of the star Academy had to submit to evaluations involving nominations for the worst performers and then eliminations during the weekly bonuses. During these 6 weeks, we were able to follow the departure of Amisse during the very first prime, then of Ahcène, Cenzo, Carla and Paola during a special duo week. It was then the acolytes Stanislas and Julien who were eliminated and finally Chris and Tiana in the semi-final. Last Saturday it was therefore Louis, Léa, Anisha and Enola who competed to win the title, the 100,000 euros as well as a contract with the Sony Music record company. A magnificent evening in real condition which saw Anisha being crowned the big winner. It is a Nikos Aliagas in much better shape than in the previous weeks, following his fall during the bonus of November 12 which gave him the trophy. The producer of the show Mathieu Vergne also returned to the incident in a podcast How Are You? by Maxime Riou this Wednesday, November 30.

Big scare during the prime of the star Academy on November 12, Nikos Aliagas fell in the middle of the show.

Several weeks later, we learn more thanks to the producer of the show, Mathieu Vergne at the microphone of Maxime Riou: “When we were informed of this in management, we immediately arrived on the set. He was really pissed off. He was struggling to walk, stunned mostly because it was a 1 min 40 sec fall. It’s still a big fall when you’re not ready (…) and you’re surprised “.
He also wanted to put an end to all the rumors concerning the replacement of the host by Camille Combal during the NRJ Music Awards : “This show is important to him because he wanted to do everything. It came at the worst time. It was a very busy week with the NRJ Music Awards, Star Academy, The Voice starting Monday and Tuesday and 50 minutes inside in between. He had to make a decision. For his health and to ensure the two big shows that are The Voice and Star Academy, he had to ignore the NRJ Music Awards “.
