Escape To The Chateau stars Dick and Angel's hidden estate area that didn't air

There's one part of Dick and Angel's stunning Strawbridge estate that Channel 4 fans definitely would not have seen on the programme, Escape To The Chateau.

Dick and Angel, along with their family became an instant hit with fans when the reality show first aired in 2016, when the British couple purchased a 19th century French chateau and relocated in hope of doing it up.

If the show proved anything, it certainly highlighted that the married couple didn't do things by halves as they attempted to refurb their property, raise two small children and continue to run a wedding and event planning business.

The show was a real hit and ran until 2022 after a whopping nine series of the programme. Following their TV success the Strawbridge's then went on to start up their very own hit podcast in 2023, called Dick & Angel's CHAT...EAU.

Although there have been many updates on their ever-changing home through the show and now via the podcast, there is still one part that remains to be seen.

Over on Instagram the family-of-four caused waves recently when they shared a snap of what appeared to be a secret garden that fans had not been privy to.

Dick, 65 could be seen alongside his two children, enjoying some time together, in a stunning vegetable garden in country esque surroundings.

It appeared that Arthur, 13, and Dorothy, 11, were helping their father to collect some of their home grown produce that seemed as though it was ready for harvest.

From the picture which showcased their stunning home in the background, it would seem the veg-patch has been closely situated to their property, despite its sprawling 12-acre grounds.

The secret part appeared to be protected by tall trees and bricked walls matching their home, which may explain why this area had been off limits to fans, until now.

Their plants appeared to be flourishing in the summer months, with green veg protruding through the earth in neat-and-tidy wooden planters, surrounded by lined walkways with stunning flowers.

Although their chateau life appears picture perfect and tranquil, it's safe to say the family's life abroad has not always been as plain sailing as it seems.

Back in March, it was announced that Channel 4 were launching a brand new spin off show, this time without Dick and Angel in the mix.

Soon after the announcement, the married couple took to Instagram posting a house design picture and completely ignoring the update at all.

They penned at the time: "A very good morning to you! We’re busy…lots of changes and lots of activity at the Chateau! Any guesses? To keep up to date with what’s happening in our world, sign up to our newsletter! Link in bio! Have a terrific Tuesday! Xxx."

This year, Channel 4 confirmed they would be launching a new show called Chateau DIY: Win The Dream, with the production company joining forces with Spark media North.

The programme sees 12 couples as they go head-to-head in hope of winning their own chateau in France. It follows on from Chateau DIY, which hit our screens in 2018 and follows the lives of families who are renovating homes in France.

All series of Escape To The Chateau are available to stream on Channel 4.
