Escape to the Chateau: Dick teases Angel about the grass<\/h3>\n

Escape to the Chateau has been off of Channel 4 viewers’ screens for almost a year after nine successful series.<\/p>\n

Dick Strawbridge and Angel Adoree announced they weren’t making any more series of their show earlier this year and left fans devastated.<\/p>\n

Express.co.uk has gone back to take a look at why Escape to the Chateau was cancelled, how Dick and Angel dealt with the cancellation and where the family are now.<\/p>\n

Why did Escape to the Chateau come to an end?<\/h3>\n

Deadline first reported that Channel 4 had ended its relationship with Dick and Angel back in July 2022 after concerns were raised about the couple.<\/p>\n

An independent HR investigation was ordered by Channel 4 after Two Rivers Media, the company that produces the Escape To The Chateau franchise.<\/p>\n

A Channel 4 spokesperson said at the time: \u201cChannel 4 is taking an active role in challenging unacceptable behaviour in our industry. Following a review of our processes in 2021 we have made it easier to raise complaints both formally and informally.<\/p>\n

“We require all our production partners to follow our Supplier Code of Conduct and when concerns are raised with us, they will be taken seriously and action will happen to ensure they are investigated and addressed appropriately.<\/p>\n

“There is always more to do and alongside our suppliers, we are committed to building safe, inclusive and professional working environments.\u201d<\/p>\n

The publication also spoke with three of their former colleagues, who alleged that Dick and Angel had clashed with the producers.<\/p>\n

A source said: “There has been a deteriorating relationship between Two Rivers and Dick and Angel\u2019s Chateau TV for various reasons and it all came to a head.”<\/p>\n

Another source added: “Producers turn them into this perfect, brilliant, funny couple. They\u2019re that on camera, but that\u2019s about it.”<\/p>\n

Deadline obtained an audio recording, in which Angel could be heard allegedly calling a producer a \u201cf***ed up little c***\u201d.<\/p>\n

Dick and Angel’s response<\/h3>\n

They said in a statement on their Instagram page: \u201cIt was a Strawbridge Family decision early last year to conclude Escape To The Chateau.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know there are lots of stories in the press right now. It\u2019s not worth us even trying to comment or give context, because anything can be made into a good headline. We understand.<\/p>\n

“There are two sides to every story and from the incredible support we have received, most of you know that.<\/p>\n

“We are proud of who we are, and we feel we must do what we believe to be correct, that is in fact what kept Escape to the Chateau unique, and whilst we have indeed parted ways with Channel 4, we are hugely grateful to them and their teams for their support and creativity over the years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe future truly could not look more exciting and we thank you for your continued love and support.\u201d<\/p>\n
