Escape to the Chateau stars Dick Strawbridge and Angel Adoree have delighted fans with details of their new show. Channel 4 viewers were left devastated when the couple confirmed that the ninth season of their popular series aired in December was the last.
Dick, 63, and Angel, 44, explained that part of their decision to end Escape to the Chateau was for family reasons, as their two children were getting older and they wanted to "protect" them from the cameras. They are parents to nine-year-old Arthur and Dorothy, eight.
However, they have a new spin-off show in the works, which is set to air on Channel 4 later this year. The husband and wife shared an update on their return to screens with their followers on Instagram, reports the Express.
