Dancing with the Stars 2024
He went to the end of himself. Injured in the back, tested by the controversies which punctuated season 13 of “Dancing with the Stars” Anthony Colette literally broke down on Friday April 26 at the announcement of the victory of his partner, the Canadian singer Natasha St-Pier, opposed in final to the comedian Inès Reg and the influencer Nico Capone. In tears, he pushed Camille Combal’s microphone away for a long time as she tried to get his reaction.
If his emotion is so great, it is undoubtedly because “Dancing with the Stars” changed his life. Originally from Avignon, Anthony Colette was 16 years old when the program, adapted from a British program, landed on TF1. Fascinated, he abandoned boxing and football to devote himself to sports dancing. After competing in competitions with Ana Riera, his girlfriend at the time, he joined the DALS troupe in 2017 and placed fifth with actress Joy Esther.
A special season in more than one way
In a duo with the former Miss France Iris Mittenaere, he came within a whisker of victory during the following season, won by actor Clément Rémiens. He then placed third with Elsa Esnoult, seventh with Lucie Lucas and eighth with Amandine Petit. Over the seasons, this jack-of-all-trades cultivates his popularity and plays comedy in several TF1 series. A good singer, he even recorded an album called Theyalthough with mixed success.
When “Dancing with the Stars” returned to the air after two years of absence last February, Anthony Colette returned for a special season in more than one way. Already because he crosses paths with his ex, associated with Roman Doduik. But also because in addition to the main program alongside Natasha St-Pier, he also participates in Dancing with the Internet Stars, the spin-off presented by Michou. With his partner, the videographer Natoo, he reached the final won by the streamer Domingo.

By doing so many jives and cha chas, has the handsome 29-year-old brunette pulled on the rope? At the end of February, he was injured during training with the Canadian singer. Verdict of the show’s doctor? Severe lumbago. “When you see me dancing, tell yourself that I’m acting because I suffer like a dog“, he admits to his subscribers on Instagram. Never mind!
While the adventure is punctuated by strong tensions behind the scenes, Anthony Collette grits his teeth until the finale. Despite great energy, the quickstep he offers with Natasha St-Pier on “Help!” of the Beatles inherits third place in the judges’ vote. The public, who have already saved the singer on several occasions, will shake things up and qualify them for a final duel against Nico Capone and Inès Van Damme.

This time, the duo will not miss each other. After a dazzling freestyle on “All By Myself”, the legendary ballad by Céline Dion, Natasha and Anthony propose an explosive tango on the theme of The Addams Family. Unsurprisingly, they largely won against their rivals with 57% of the viewers’ votes. The fact remains that while the singer seems stunned by the result, her partner seems on the verge of fainting.
Recovered from his emotions, the young man will end up confiding during the after-party of the final. “Thanks to my father who let me do dance and to my mother who drove two hours round trip to take me to lessons while all my teachers at school were telling me that I I was throwing my life away“, he said under the benevolent gaze of his partner. Before slipping a wink at his partner “because you have to put up with all that“.
