Escape to the Chateau’s Dick and Angel Strawbridge announce huge career milestone as they pay emotional tribute to fans
DICK and Angel Strawbridge have announced a huge career milestone after being dropped by Channel 4.
The couple shot to fame with their programme Escape to the Chateau on the station.
It ran for nine series as they brought the French abode back up to scratch before Dick and Angel called time on the show.
Despite Channel 4 and the pair working together on other projects, they were axed from the broadcaster following a recording leaking appearing to capture Angel, 45, in a foul-mouthed exchange with a producer.
Now she and Dick, 64, have announced a brand new show in Canada and America.
Before hitting the road, Dick told Hello! Mag: “It’s called the Dare to Do It tour because we did something very silly … buying a chateau.
“But we did it because we knew it was right.”
It’s the first time the couple have brought a show to North America.
Angel added: “We’re really looking forward to coming to Canada. We’ve crafted the tour so that we spend the most time in Canada because we’ve got family there.
“We’re going to go up to Blue Mountain and do some [snow tubing] with the kids – which we’re excited about – and hopefully see some wildlife!”
Dick and Angel’s two children, Arthur, 10 and Dorothy, nine, grew up on their show.
They’ll join their parents on their tour across the pond.
Last year Dick and Angel announced they were launching a brand new podcast series.
Called ‘Chat… aeu’ they said it will bring fans up to date with the everyday goings-on at the pair’s stunning French home.
Released as weekly episodes, the couple aim to give an even more personal look at the life of their family as the renovations and events continue at the property even after the Channel 4 cameras stopped rolling.
