Sophie Davant's children gave her their “green light”

So why did she finally accept the proposal this year ? The 61-year-old host explained that it was largely thanks to her children. “They watch this show, they found it to be a great adventure for me (…) They gave the green light“, she confided. On the other hand, her companion, William Leymergie, seemed much less excited by the idea of her joining this adventure.

“He wasn't necessarily for“, the former presenter of Affaire conclue thus revealed before revealing the reasons for her concerns. “He is afraid of what might happen in terms of image.” Despite everything, the 77-year-old host did not ask her to refuse this invitation and should support her so that she can achieve the best possible performances on the set of Dancing with the Stars.

Who will be Sophie Davant's professional dancer ?

This year, the performances should be all more impressive than each other. In any case, on paper, the casting suggests that the chosen personalities should all succeed in performing beautiful dances. One thing that could allow Sophie Davant to stand out from the crowd is the dancer who will have been assigned to her.

For now, this information is being kept secret. One thing is sure, she will not dance with the winning dancer from the previous season, Anthony Colette. Indeed, the latter announced that he would not be part of this adventure this year.
