Participants
After months of speculation, the full cast was leaked by the media on July 25, 2014. TF1 confirmed the participations of Nathalie Péchalat on September 3 and Corneille on September 4, revealing which dancers the two would be paired with along the way. The rest of the cast was confirmed by the channel on September 9, along with the premiere date and their respective partners were revealed during a press conference the next day.
David Carreira was announced by the media, but it turned out he was actually participating in the Portuguese version of the program. Of the celebrities participating, Corneille had already been in talks for the previous season while Elisa Tovati had turned down all four previous seasons. In a June 2014 interview, Joyce Jonathan strongly denied her participation, lying that it "wasn't in the cards." Several celebrities, including singers Jean-Pascal Lacoste and Hélène Rollès, confirmed having been approached by TF1 but weren't part of the final cast.
