The competition is heating up on the dance floor of Danse avec les stars. Following Philippe Lellouche’s departure, the remaining contestants faced a modern set of challenges judged by Malika Benjelloun. With a jury that’s increasingly demanding, and after a remarkable performance that earned the season’s first two perfect scores, who couldn’t survive this fourth prime?
Danse avec les stars 2026: The season’s first two “10” scores were awarded, but the competition ends here for this personality
A second celebrity has been eliminated from Danse avec les stars 2026, following the fourth prime of the season, which aired this Friday, February 20th. Last week, Philippe Lellouche left the competition after losing his face-off with Laure Manaudou.
On the Culture Médias program, the father of Sharlie discussed the reasons for his elimination: “It was complicated in February because I also had to rehearse my play. This also explains my more than mediocre performance on the first dance, as I had trained less than the others because I was simultaneously rehearsing for the theater.” He is currently directing the play Le Jeu de la Vérité at the Apollo Théâtre, and performing in Nuit d’ivresse at the Théâtre de la Madeleine with Catherine Jacob. In the same interview, he also shared more about the money earned by participants on DALS.
A surprising face-off led to a new elimination in Danse avec les stars 2026 after the fourth prime.
The fourth prime of season 15, which just aired, aimed to put the contestants to the test. They were tasked with completing challenges, which would count towards their final score and were judged by Malika Benjelloun, known for having been a dance teacher at Star Academy in 2023 and 2024.
It was therefore important not to falter, especially for Laure Manaudou and Stéphane Bern, at the bottom of the rankings, behind Ian Ziering and Denitsa Ikonomova: 53 points. Chris Marques, Jean-Marc Généreux, Fauve Hautot, Mel Charlot and Malika Benjelloun were waiting to see if they could turn things around tonight. The answer came quickly!
The face-off in this fourth prime surprisingly pitted Stéphane Bern against…Marcus, who had still been very convincing tonight! And it was the host who lost the duel. “It was an extraordinary human and sporting adventure,” reacted the partner of Yori Bailleres to Camille Combal, after learning of his elimination. This prime was also marked by the outstanding performance of Samuel Bambi, who, disguised as the Joker, received the season’s first two perfect “10” scores.
