During an appearance on Europe 1 earlier this year, Fauve Hautot praised one of her favorite contestants from Danse avec les stars. “I really got along well with Tayc because he likewise had a pretty animal energy. We both had pretty strong personalities,” she openly shared. “We complemented each other well. He brought his ‘dance’ side, which is very different from mine. The fusion worked well. He’s also someone I really like and I’m still close to.”
This isn’t the first time the dancer has spoken fondly of her friendship with the French rapper. Back in 2021, she told TV Mag that Tayc had been surprised during their first meeting. According to Hautot, he “expected [her] to be a pain.” “He was surprised to see that I was nice,” she explained, marking the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Hautot also revealed the celebrity partner who gave her the most difficulty during her Europe 1 interview. “I could maybe say Jean-Marie Bigard” she admitted, adding “It was also my first season. It was very enriching for both of us, but Jean-Marie was someone less flexible, older…”
According to reports, the comedian wasn’t accustomed to working with the art form. “He’s a comedian. He’s not someone who moves, generally. He still managed to do a very beautiful tango.” Jean-Marie Bigard was eliminated after the fourth round of eliminations. M. Pokora and Katrina Patchett ultimately won the first season of DALS.

Last year, Fauve Hautot revisited her collaboration with Jean-Marie Bigard on the YouTube channel À bientôt de te revoir. In the interview, she described the comedian as “a very nice man” with whom she had “very good times.”
“We tried to do the Dirty Dancing lift and he never succeeded. He was convinced he could lift me, even though we’re almost the same height. We even tried to do that lift in a swimming pool,” she shared with the host. Hautot is currently a judge on season 15 of DALS alongside Chris Marques, Jean-Marc Généreux and Mel Charlot.
