Escape to the Chateau’s Dick and Angel Strawbridge pay emotional tribute to fans as they return to Channel 4 after axe
DICK and Angel Strawbridge have addressed their imminent return to Channel 4 - a year after being axed.
The TV couple were sensationally dropped from the broadcaster after Angel's vicious row with a producer.
A leaked recording exposed the mother-of-two's behaviour towards a producer, which she branded a "f***ed up little c***";.
Following the explicit rant Channel 4 bosses announced they were cutting ties with the pair.
But now Dick and Angel back on air with their final series Dick and Angel's Secret France.
In a social media update to fans, the couple said: "We have some very exciting news & we want you to be the first to know!

"We are back on Channel 4 with our brand-new travel series ‘Secret France with Dick & Angel’ starting Sunday 2nd June at 8pm.

"We hope you join us on our journey ❤️
"Love Dick & Angel."
Delighted fans flooded the pair with well wishes, with one writing: "Fantastic you two will deffo be watching."
A second wrote: "Oh wow!!! Brilliant you’ve all been missed.";
"It is so wonderful to have you back on our screens again, I just cannot wait until 2nd June," said a third.
While a fourth commented: "I am so pleased your back on TV can't wait."
The Sun revealed how the new series was filmed before Angel's explicit was leaked and are remaining stern on their ban.
Who are Dick and Angel Strawbridge?
The TV couple shot to fame in 2016 when their series Escape to the Chateau launched on Channel 4.
Running for nine series, it followed Dick and Angel as they renovated their 19th century French mansion.
They have two children together, Arthur and Dorothy, who featured in the show
It quickly became a fan-favourite show of the schedule as millions tuned in to see the couple tackle each corner of their 45-bedroom chateau.
Escape to the Chateau came to a natural end in October 2022 by mutual agreement between Channel 4 and Dick and Angel.
Despite the broadcaster and the pair working together on other projects, they were axed from the channel following a recording leaking appearing to capture Angel in a foul-mouthed exchange with a producer.
