In the newsletter they send to fans, the pair use the headline: "The Ninth and Final Series of Escape to the Chateau," whilst they also added they would update fans on its release date soon: "We are delighted to announce our ninth series of Escape to the Chateau will be starting soon in the UK. As soon as we have a date, you will be the first to know!"

And in a statement, the pair said they were "looking forward to the future".

"Escape to the Chateau has been our family journey; our decision to buy a Chateau with no water, electricity, heating or sewage has taken us on the adventure of a lifetime and we could never have imagined what would unfold. The good, the bad and the ugly… we have cherished every second and love that we have a visual record to show Arthur and Dorothy when they're older," they wrote.

"oooooooo it can’t be that this years #EscapetotheChateau is going to be last series, say it’s not true @dickstrawbridge," one fan penned as another added: "The 9th season of #escapetothechateau will be the last one. My heart cannot take it."
