The competition is heating up on the Dancing with the Stars floor. After the departure of Philippe Lellouche, the candidates had to take on the formidable challenges imposed by Malika Benjelloun. Faced with an ever more demanding jury, and after a remarkable performance which led to the first two “10” of the season, who did not survive this 4th bonus?
Dancing with the Stars 2026: The first two “10” of the season have been awarded, but the competition ends here for this personality
A second celebrity has just been eliminated in Dancing with the Stars 2026at the end of the 4th bonus of the season, broadcast this Friday February 20 from 9:10 p.m. Last week, it was Philippe Lellouche who left the adventure after losing his face-to-face meeting with Laure Manaudou.
In the show Culture Media, Sharlie’s dad returned to the reasons for his elimination: “It was complicated in February since I had to rehearse my play in addition. What explains my more than very mediocre performance on the first dance is that I had trained less than the others since I had theater rehearsals at the same time.” As a reminder, he directed the play Le Jeu de la Vérité at the Apollo Théâtre, and performed on the stage in drunken night at the Théâtre de la Madeleine with Catherine Jacob. In this interview, he also says more about the money received by the participants of VALLEY.
New elimination in Dancing with the Stars 2026 after a surprising face-to-face
Coming back to the 4th bonus of season 15, which has just taken place, it aimed to put the candidates to the test. The latter were asked to complete challenges, which will count in their final grade and which were imposed by Malika Benjelloun, known for having been a dance teacher at the Star Academy in 2023 and 2024.
It was therefore important not to miss out, especially for Laure Manaudou and Stéphane Bern, stuck at the bottom of the ranking, behind Ian Ziering and Denitsa Ikonomova: 53 points. Chris Marques, Jean-Marc Généreux, Fauve Hautot, Mel Charlot and Malika Benjelloun were waiting for them at the turn, did they manage to rectify the situation this evening? Immediate response!
The face-to-face of this 4th bonus surprisingly pitted Stéphane Bern against…Marcus, yet still very convincing this evening! And it was the host who lost this duel. “It was an extraordinary human and sporting adventure,” reacted Yori Bailleres’ companion to Camille Combal’s microphone, after learning of his elimination. Note that this bonus was also marked by the XXL performance of Samuel Bambi who, disguised as Joker, inherited the first two “10” of the season.
