« Je suis la fille d'un monument » : Maguette, la fille de Pape Diouf, intègre Secret Story et bouleverse les téléspectateurs
From the very start of Secret Story 2026 on Tuesday, June 23rd, a contestant deeply shocked TF1 viewers by revealing the exact wording of her secret. At just twenty-one years old, this young woman is none other than the daughter of an iconic and much-missed figure in French football, the former president of Olympique de Marseille.
Host Christophe Beaugrand kicked off the fourteenth season by welcoming thirteen new contestants to Plaine Saint-Denis. During the launch party, fans of the reality TV show were introduced to twenty-one-year-old Maguette, whose adventure immediately took a very different turn from that of her fellow contestants. The young woman was isolated and confined on the mysterious "Yacht of Secrets" alongside four other participants: Léonie, Océane, Azad, and Robin.
It was from the confessional booth that Maguette kicked off the revelations by unveiling her secret to the viewers: "I am the daughter of a football legend." Indeed, the contestant is the daughter of the late Pape Diouf, a former journalist and internationally renowned player agent, who later presided over Olympique de Marseille from 2005 to 2009. "I am very proud because beyond being a legend, he is still my dad. Far beyond being the president of a football club, he remains a wonderful person whom I admire enormously, and he truly is the best at everything," she confided, visibly moved.

Originally from Marseille and particularly proud of her Senegalese roots, Maguette, who is currently studying communication and event management in the luxury sector, chose to participate in TF1's flagship show to honor the memory of her famous father, who tragically passed away on March 31, 2020 in Dakar at the age of sixty-eight, from complications of Covid-19. For the contestant, who already has a large following on Instagram and TikTok, this adventure is a true tribute: "My father passed on to me honesty, loyalty, resilience, the importance of fighting for one's dreams (...) he is my role model in absolutely everything," she declared.
Born in December 1951 in Abéché, Chad, Mababa Diouf, known as Pape Diouf, profoundly shaped the landscape of French sport. Arriving in Marseille at the age of eighteen to study political science, he began his career as a sports journalist for the daily newspaper *La Marseillaise*, becoming a key figure in the football section during the 1970s and 1980s. After a brilliant career as an agent for internationally renowned players in the 1990s, his unwavering connection with Olympique de Marseille reached historic proportions in 2005 when he became the club's president. To this day, he remains the first and only Black executive to have presided over a top-flight professional football club in France.
