The adventure Dance with stars almost turned short for Frank Lebœuf. Last Friday, during the third bonus – which was the first elimination of this 14e Season-, the 1998 world champion found himself face-to-face with Nelson Monfort at the very end of the program, while he and his partner Candice Pascal had ranked eighth on twelve with 52 points. But it was ultimately the former sports journalist from France Télévisions who was ousted.

A relief for the former defender of the French team (57 years old) who, during a subject broadcast by TF1 just before his live performance on the prosecution of Studio 217, delivered a terrible anecdote on his couple. The ex-player of Strasbourg, Chelsea and OM thus returned to the painful episode recently experienced by his wife Chrislaure Nollet. “Something very important happened to us a year and a half ago,”
he explains, tears in his eyes.

Frank Lebœuf: “Our life changed that day”

“I found one day Chrislaure on the ground, she made a stroke. Our life changed that dayhe recalls. When they brought it to the ambulance truck, I said to myself: 'I will never see it again'. It brought us a lot closer. »» It is to pay tribute to his partner that Frank Lebœuf chose to dance on That I love youJohnny Hallyday's tube. What give chills to all the other candidates, but also to the four members of the jury.

“We realize the emptiness of life. We tell ourselves that there is nothing to lose, that we must enjoy everything ”explains the wife of the one who is an actor today. And the latter to continue: “If I decided to do Dance with starsit's a lot for Chrislaure. I know that dance is important to her. »» The ex-partner of tennis player Fabrice Santoro notably practiced classical dance at the Ballet de Paris, from the age of 10.
