Escape to the Chateau stars Dick and Angel Strawbridge shared a moving announcement about their family, prompting fans to flock to send messages of support. The couple, who hosted the Channel 4 show until it ended last year, regularly update their 386,000 followers with the latest news in their lives.

Dick and Angel, who married at their French chateau in 2015, share two children, Arthur, 12, and Dorothy, 11. Congratulating Arthur on completing his first year at college – the equivalent of secondary school in the UK – the couple posted a photo of their son in his signature-covered shirt.

They wrote: “Congratulations to our big boy Arthur! His first year at college is officially over and he has had a ball…”

They added: “It’s a bit of a gushy parent moment…but this young man received some pretty big achievements this year…including coming 3rd in his school for a National French Mathematics competition…where he was competing against all ages up to 15!”

Proud parents Dick and Angel continued: “Love him to bits and just could not be prouder… Dorothy still has a week left at school…and it’s all go with spectaculars and end of school parties. Have a fabulous Thursday!”

Fans sent their congratulations in the comments. One wrote: “Many congratulations Arthur, enjoy your holidays!” Another replied: “Wow that’s fantastic Arthur, well done to you. Yes proud parent moments indeed.”

A third added: “Congratulations and well done Arthur.” Someone else typed: “Well done Arthur, that’s fantastic.”

Last month, the couple shared their latest antics, posting a series of photos on social media documenting their first gatherings of the year. To showcase their French home, the couple offer a variety of events, including corporate team building weekends and couples’ retreats.

With Arthur and Dorothy included in making the events happen, the Strawbridges wrote: “Wow! What a week!! First events of the year and the sun certainly had his hat on!

“The Chateau was filled with love, laughter and plenty of hugs as we made memories together! We were blown away by how many people came from around the world.

“Thank you. We are now working on our 2026 dates so watch this space…” They wished their supporters a good start to the week, adding: “Have a Marvellous Monday!”

Their loyal followers took to the comments again, with one writing: “Amazing! ! So miss watching you guys!!” Another added: “I wish your programs were still on TV. I’d love to see you doing more crafts and interior design.”

A third commented: “My husband and I are rewatching your show and just saw your anniversary dinner that you held in the orangery during Covid with your beautiful children serving the food and your parents helping.” Some fans were feeling nostalgic, with one commenting: “Miss seeing you all …it was a dose of comfort watching the family grow and experience the magic of the chateau being reborn…just lovely to see all going well.”
