Dick and Angel Strawbridge shared an exciting filming update as fans react to how grown up their children Arthur and Dorothy look in new pictures
The Strawbridge clan have shared an exciting filming development.
Dick and Angel Strawbridge are recognised for featuring on the restoration programme, which debuted in 2016 following the pair’s acquisition of a French château in 2015.
The reality TV series documented Dick, Angel and their brood as they purchased and refurbished the 19th-century estate in France, whilst bringing up two youngsters and launching a venture hosting nuptials and various occasions.
Throughout the years, audiences adored witnessing the household transform the residence to their taste.
Supporters were thrilled last month when it was revealed the programme would be making a return with series 10 currently being produced, reports the Liverpool Echo.
A fresh development has been shared by the household ahead of the upcoming instalments.
Taking to Instagram on Sunday (November 23), the official profile of the Strawbridge family posted a photograph of Dick and Angel positioned in the snow, before their French residence and additional images of their offspring, Arthur and Dorothy.
The post was captioned: “Hello to you on this Super Sunday! Christmas came early this weekend at the Chateau…Not only did it snow and Arthur and Dorothy got to catch snowflakes with their tongues.
“We got to film something rather special with the perfect weather conditions! We can’t wait to share it with you. Have a lovely evening!”
Viewers of the Channel 4 programme shared comments and demonstrated their backing for the family. Numerous fans were astonished by how mature the children had become, having first graced our screens as youngsters.
One viewer remarked: “Oh my goodness how grown up are the kids now” whilst another contributed “Such beautiful pictures, Arthur and Dorothy are growing up so quick.”
An additional response quipped “Are you two shrinking, or are these kids getting real grown up” while others penned “Your family is growing up. Happy Holidays” and “Cannot wait to watch the Strawbridge Family Christmas magic again! ! ! Thank you so much for coming back to us!”.
Revealing the news of series 10 last month, the family declared: “We are delighted to announce that we are officially back in production for Escape to the Chateau, Series 10!”.
“It’s been wonderful welcoming back our Escape filming family – the unsung heroes behind the cameras. Since we first fell in love with the Chateau in 2014, it has taken us on the journey of a lifetime.
“In 2022, we made the important decision to take a break from filming and concluded Series 9 with the most incredible and magical celebration we could have ever imagined.”
The announcement shared by the family continued: “Now, as a family, we’ve stepped into a new era. With Arthur and Dorothy happily settled into college, Series 10 brings more change and growth than the Chateau has ever seen!
“We promised that when the time was right for our family, we’d invite the cameras back in to give you an update – and maybe even a Christmas Special…and that time is now! Thank you for being part of our story – we can’t wait to share this next magical chapter with you.”
Dick and Angel along with their two youngsters, Arthur and Dorothy, have called the estate home for over 10 years and continue to make their mark on the magnificent property. The pair frequently post pictures of their breathtaking grounds on social media and offer glimpses into parts of the château that viewers seldom saw during the programme.
