Nabilla Benattia

Nabilla Leona Grange Benattia-Vergara (; naˈbilla leˈoːna ˈɡrand͡ʒe bɛnatˈtiːa, nabila benatja; born February 5, 1992), commonly known by her first name Nabilla, is a French-Swiss model and reality TV personality. She has appeared in L'Amour est aveugle (2009), Hollywood Girls (2012–2014), Les Anges de la télé-réalité (2012–2013) and her own TV show Allô Nabilla (2013–2014). She became known in France for her one-liner "non, mais allô quoi" on les Anges de la télé-réalité. The line was subsequently used in ads from brands such as IKEA and Carrefour. It gave rise to a number of parody videos viewed millions of times on YouTube, including a Downfall parody. She registered the phrase as a trademark at the Institut National de la Propriété Industrielle. Nabilla was first hired by a modelling agency when she was 14 years old. Soon after, she was elected Miss Geneva International Motor Show 2011 while working on the Peugeot stand. At age 17, Benattia lied about her age to take part of the TF1's reality TV show L'Amour est aveugle (the French version of "love is blind"), where participants meet in total darkness. Following her first appearance on TV, Benattia underwent breast enlargement surgery, which she claims was to further her career, enabling her to appear in publications such as Maxim and Playboy . During 2012, she appeared in the fourth series of les Anges de la télé-réalité, shot in Hawaii. The programme, which airs on NRJ 12, follows a group of reality TV personalities for ten weeks. On the show she became romantically involved with Sofiane Tadjine-Lambert, who was in Star Academy 4. He wrote a song for her, "Dingue de toi (Nabi... Nabilla)", which reached number 25 in the French music charts. Following the show, she was interviewed by Jeremstar, on the show La Conciergerie. In early 2013, she finished filming on the fifth series in Florida. For her participation in this series, Benattia purportedly earned €25,000.
