A calmer edition, a lackluster victory? It was indeed a narrow gap that allowed Alexis André Jr., the goalkeeper who received 49% of the viewers’ votes, to win the game “Secret story” – which was making its return to the small screen after seven years of absence – ahead of Lou (41%), Léo (7%) and Maxence (3%)…
Of Guadeloupean origin (through his father) and Moroccan (through his mother), this tall sportsman measuring 1.91 meters tall, born in Mulhouse, celebrated his 27th birthday on May 31, 2024… while he was precisely on the set of reality TV game, reports Le Figaro.
Footballer and influencer
After training as a goalkeeper in Strasbourg then in Germany, Alexis turned pro in England where he signed in the third division in 2017. But the one who currently plays in Woking, in the National League (fifth division), is above all a “star” of social networks, notably TikTok where he is followed by 4.6 million subscribers!
As for the secret he hid in the game, it concerns a very delicate – and painful – moment in his childhood, recalls Le Figaro : following the separation of his parents, the young man was indeed abandoned by his mother when he was only 4 years old…
A reconversion on the sets?
Another line on his CV: Alexis is a “regular” of reality TV shows since in 2022, he participated in the romance program “Lovestruck High”, broadcast on Prime Video… after having declined the invitation to join the cast of “Love Island” (a reality TV game show in England).

In any case, the Alsatian’s victory proves lucrative since he will return home richer by 105,313 euros (the 100,000 euros promised to the winner increased by the amount of the prize pool accumulated during the game). Léo will “only” receive 15,870 euros, Lou 11,500 euros and Maxence, whose prize pool was zero, will leave empty-handed.
