Escape to the Chateau's Dick and Angel wind down castle business following Channel 4 'fall out'

Escape to the Chateau stars Dick and Angel Strawbridge appear to be 'winding down' their castle company amid a fall out with Channel 4, it has been reported.

The couple shot to fame on the show, which saw them renovate a French chateau to turn it into a luxury wedding venue.

Last month, Channel 4 told The Mirror that they would no longer be working with Dick and Angel "following a review".

It was claimed that the couple 'bullied' producers whilst filming, but Dick and Angel insisted that there are 'two sides to every story'.

And now it seems that the couple have decided to wind down their company, after applying for a 'voluntary strike off' from the register at Companies House.

On May 9, Dick and Angel, real name Angela, signed the application for Chateau-de-la-Motte Husson Limited.

The first notice was given on May 23, with the company set to be dissolved within two months.

All events at the chateau including 'garden days' and 'tours under the stars' are marked as unavailable.

Last month, their website stated: "We are currently on a two-year weddings ‘catch-up’, we will reopen enquiries as soon as we can!"

The couple's other services, including a Chateau Under the Stars experience, which costs £350 per night and a £75 Working Garden Day were also 'currently unavailable'.

The coupe have been married since 2015 and share two children - while 63-year-old Dick has two other kids from a previous marriage.

Fans loved their story as they took on the 19th-century, 45-bedroom Château de la Motte-Husson in Martigné-sur-Mayenne, France.

However, things seem to have taken a turn as Two Rivers Media confirmed to the Mirror they also cut ties and will no longer be working with the couple.

A leaked audio clip saw Angel reportedly launch a 'foul mouthed rant' at a producer.

At one point in the clip, Angel says her husband Dick - with whom she shares Arthur and Dorothy - talked to people like "s**t," with the producer then responding to say to her: "And I don’t like that either."

Angel fumed at the unknown person for posting something on social media that had a likeness to her husband Dick Strawbridge.

The couple then made a lengthy statement on Instagram, which read: "Thank you for inviting us into your living rooms. You have watched our children grow up and shared our adventures.

"It was a Strawbridge Family decision early last year to conclude ‘Escape to the Chateau’, but we have loved every moment and, despite the many challenges, we refused to give up on our dream, and in doing so have filled the chateau with love and laughter, and, most importantly, have created the most wonderful home for our family.

"We know there are lots of stories in the press right now. It’s not worth us even trying to comment or give context, because anything can be made into a good headline. We understand.

"There are two sides to every story and from the incredible support we have received, most of you know that."
