ESCAPE to the Chateau couple Dick and Angel Strawbridge have celebrated wedding season beginning at their stunning French home amid reports surrounding their departure from their popular Channel 4 programme.

The loved-up couple rose to fame thanks to the Channel 4 hit, however insiders have since claimed that the pair split from the broadcaster amid clashes with producers.

They appear to have shrugged off the reports as they celebrated the first wedding of the year at their French castle.

Taking to Instagram, they shared a short clip as a happy bride celebrated her big day at the famous chateau.

Captioning the post, the couple wrote: "Sneak peek into our first wedding of the year…sun is shining and three generations are singing!!

"This weekend is all about love, more to follow shortly…"

One fan gushed over the clip and the family as they wrote: "Gorgeous! Come back on TV we miss you D, A and family!"

As another added: "Love it x what a special place to get married x."

It comes after The Sun revealed the couple halted taking any further bookings at their venue after their 'rift' with producers was revealed.

They have put the £38,000-a-time wedding service on hold.

Also on the backburner is their Chateau Under the Stars experience — where guests sleep in a glass dome for £350 a night — and a £75 Working Garden Day.

The couple, who wed in 2015 and have two children, say on their website: “We are currently on a two-year wedding ‘catch up’. We will reopen enquiries as soon as we can!”

Ex-Army officer Dick, 63, and Angel, 45, bought the 45-room chateau set in 12 acres for £280,000 in 2015.

The Channel 4 show followed its £130,000 refit.

Since their exit from the programme, Angel has been eyeing up her opportunities as she plans to further her reality TV career.

A pal said to The Sun: “Now she is no longer attached to Escape to the Chateau she is considering all options.

“She would be sure to ruffle feathers in the jungle and is not afraid of speaking her mind.”
