Escape to the Chateau’s Dick and Angel reveal it’s been a ‘humbling couple of days’ as they move on from Channel 4 split

ESCAPE to the Chateau veterans Dick and Angel have dusted themselves off after their recent split from Channel 4 as they partied with fans.

Channel 4 announced last month it would no longer be working with the Strawbridges, but the family have not let the setback get them down.

The couple worked with the broadcaster on Escape to the Chateau and the spin-off series, Escape to the Chateau: DIY, but were investigated over clashes with producers from Two Rivers Media.

In a recent Dick and Angel shared a snap from their delayed meet-and-greet opportunity from last year's theatre tour.

The post took a mild jab at their previous partnership, stating that this year's event was their "biggest" yet.

They said: "A huge hello to you on this Wonderful Wednesday!

"It's been a humbling couple of days here for us and our team. 1,000 Chateau hugs…1,000 cakes, lots of bubbly in teacups, plenty of smiles, and two wedding proposals took place at our biggest event ever.

"From invite to execution, it took 15 months, but our postponed Meet & Greet from last year's theatre tour finally took place."

They prompted their followers to follow their account to see the "chaos and magic" that unfolded and encourage them to book next year's tour. 

The post read: "We can't thank everyone enough for coming all the way to see us, it was incredible and will be talked about for many years to come!"

It continued: " Our next tour was very topical, so if you wish to get tickets, please note that today is the final day for Priority Access…and tickets to Newcastle went live today!

"Click the Forever Home U.K. Tour 2024 link in our bio. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for the support, love, laughter, and jokes!!"

Fans shared their support for the family, with one commenting: "Myself and my daughter visited on Monday. The day exceeded my dreams, a day of literally hugs, love and lots and lots of laughter. Dick and Angel are amazing, there’s no faking their love for the people who support them. They are awesome! Thank you for a day I won’t ever forget."

Another added: "I loved watching you and your family and your children growing up. I wish it would carry on. Such a lovely family."

A third said: "Strawbridge family, you are loved by us all. You have given all of us more than you can know. You are so special and will always hold a special place in the hearts and minds of your fans. Xxxx"

The Strawbridge's next tour is titled U.K. tour: Forever Home, which was announced shortly after the couple revealed that they would be shutting down their Escape To The Chateau company Chateau-de-la-Motte Husson Limited.

The Forever Home (avec le nitty gritty) tour has thirty-two dates starting in Angel's home town of Southend-On-Sea in October and will end on November 17th in Brighton.
