Escape To The Chateau stars announce UK tour

Escape To The Chateau stars Dick and Angel Strawbridge have announced a UK tour, weeks after reports that Channel 4 had cut ties with them.

The TV stars - who have been in the news in recent weeks amid reports that there was tension between them and Channel 4 producers - said they were “delighted” to be heading out on their Forever Home tour.

“It’s been nearly a year in the planning and we simply could not wait to tell you that we are hitting the road for our biggest ever theatre tour!” said the celebs, whose hit show followed them as they renovated their 19th century chateau in France.

“Taking our family on the road has been an honour and a complete pleasure," they said in the statement on Instagram.

"Our first theatre tour in 2020; Dare To Do It, was a complete unknown. It was humbling, not only for the number of you that came to see us, but for the stories you told us when we had a chance to have a hug afterwards!

“In the new Tour, we explore Why & How we dared to do it, delve deep into our classic myth-busting and click-bait segment (always a favourite of ours, as we get to set the record straight!). It will be an interactive evening of fun and games, especially now we can have you back on stage!!”

They went on: “We simply can’t wait, and thankfully this time we'll get to hug after the show during the 'meet and greet’. If you came to our first tour, you’ll know that we hang around until we say hello to everyone, or we are chucked out of the theatre!

“Thank you for your love and support and we cannot wait to see you!” they added.

Last month it was reported that Channel 4 had severed ties with the pair.

And Deadline said it had obtained a copy of a tape in which a woman – apparently Angel – was heard yelling at a crew member over being kept waiting.

The publication said at the time that a rep for the stars had declined to comment, although they did post a message on Instagram saying that "there are two sides to every story".
