Dick and Angel Strawbridge have officially confirmed they have “parted ways” with Channel 4 after a seven-year run of their hugely popular TV series, Escape To The Château.The couple found fame with the show - documenting their journey renovating the dilapidated 19th century Neo-Renaissance style Château de la Motte Husson, located in a small market town in Western France.The Strawbridge’s first purchased the property back in 2015, after they traded in their two-bedroom Essex flat to make the big move to France.

Apparently, they paid just £280,000 for the 45-room Château and sprawling grounds with the intention of turning it into a successful enterprise.

But in a new heartfelt Instagram post addressing the end of the era, Dick and Angel have thanked the fans for “inviting” them into their living rooms.They’ve also cleared up the rumours that they clashed with Channel 4, stressing that they have nothing but gratitude for everyone who helped them on their incredible journey. “It was a Strawbridge Family decision early last year to conclude ‘Escape to the Chateau’, but we have loved every moment and, despite the many challenges, we refused to give up on our dream, and in doing so have filled the chateau with love and laughter, and, most importantly, have created the most wonderful home for our family,” the statement read. “We know there are lots of stories in the press right now.

It’s not worth us even trying to comment or give context, because anything can be made into a good headline. We understand.There are two sides to every story and from the incredible support we have received, most of you know that,” they continued.
