Dick and Angel Strawbridge have made a return to television with a new show, following a fallout with the producers of their previous series, Escape To The Chateau. Last year, the couple faced a bullying scandal which resulted in Channel 4 cutting ties with them after an independent investigation into their behavior. However, despite this controversy, their spin-off show was already in the works and has now hit screens as Dick and Angel’s Secret France. The program showcases the couple exploring France away from their chateau, with flashbacks to their renovation journey featured in the opening credits.
Fans were thrilled to see Dick and Angel back on television and expressed their excitement on social media platforms. While some viewers were eager to watch the new show, others showed their support for the couple and their return to the screen. Sources revealed that Two Rivers Media, the company producing Escape To The Chateau, had raised concerns about the presenting duo due to a strained relationship between the production team and the couple. It was suggested that Dick and Angel’s real-life personas differed from their on-screen portrayal as a charming and delightful couple.
Despite concerns raised by the show’s producers, Dick and Angel’s Secret France debuted on television, showcasing the couple’s adventures in various parts of France. The program captures the day-to-day challenges and triumphs of the couple as they explore different locations and immerse themselves in French culture. However, backstage audio recordings from Escape To The Chateau revealed a confrontational side of Angel, which raised further questions about the couple’s behavior and working relationship with the production team. The audio clip depicted a heated exchange between Angel and a producer, highlighting tensions on set.
Following the release of the audio recording, Angel and Dick addressed their fans on Instagram, thanking them for their support and expressing optimism about the future. The couple acknowledged the challenges they faced but emphasized their determination in pursuing their dream of renovating their chateau and creating a loving home for their family. Despite parting ways with Channel 4, the Strawbridges remained thankful for the network’s support and creativity over the years. They reassured their followers that the future appeared promising and expressed gratitude for the continued love and encouragement from their loyal fan base and supporters.
