This Friday, May 3, is marked by the resumption of the famous TF1 show: Mask Singer. Laurent Ruquier joined the jury, and is already making headlines by criticizing a former Star Academy professor. The fans are not going to be happy…
The cult TF1 show is making its comeback this Friday, May 3. After Dancing with the Stars concluded its thirteenth season, from which Natasha St-Pier emerged as the big winner, it’s the turn of this other key program to punctuate viewers’ Friday evenings. In the animation, however, nothing changes since it’s Camille Combal who also leads the danceno pun intended.
There is nevertheless something new on the side of the members of the jury. Indeed, if the comedians Kev Adams and Chantal Ladesou kept their place, two new ones were welcomed by the show. These are Laurent Ruquier, and Inès Reg, who has also just finished her season of Dancing with the Stars. She also insisted on making a long speech in order to silence the rumors about her, after her elimination from the program.

The first passage sowed doubt among the jury
Barely started, the show welcomed a first participant in the disguise of a leopard. Before the candidate performed, the character of the invisible man gave several clues to viewers and members of the jury about him. Among them was a castle or even a star. Which guided the jury towards the Star Academy track. That said, one element made them doubt: the anniversary number 60, which made them think of a personality who was already quite experienced.

Then the performance took place, leaving the members of the jury amazed. Indeed, a great voice sang and impressed them. Everyone then had to give a name that they thought of after hearing the leopard sing. Kev Adams thought of Nolwenn Leroy, Laurent Ruquier and Inès Reg of Eve Angeli and Chantal Ladesou of Armande Altaï.
Laurent Ruquier created discomfort after his tackle
Chantal Ladesou, following the clue of 60 years of career, thus tempted Armande Altaï, former emblematic professor of the Star Academy. The clues revealing a castle and a star therefore match perfectly with the proposition made by the comedian. But while she gave her name, Laurent Ruquier took the opportunity to make a joke about her.

The host in fact launched: “Armande, we wouldn’t have needed to disguise her”, while laughing out loud. After which Inès Reg literally remained speechless, and Camille Combal laughed embarrassedly, and hastened to move on. Uneasiness has indeed set in following Laurent Ruquier’s attack on the former cult teacher appreciated by viewers. First misstep for the host?
