Escape to the Chateau’s Angel Adoree sickened as husband Dick Strawbridge ‘undoes years of work’

ESCAPE to the Chateau star Angel Adoree was left mortified when her husband Dick Strawbridge cut down her beloved trees during Sunday night’s event-filled episode.

Angel and Dick have become extremely popular amongst Channel 4 viewers who tune in to watch them on the fan favourite show.

The show follows the couple’s quest to revamp their 19th century French home, however, restoring a historic building and maintaining its grounds doesn’t come without its problems. 

In the latest instalment of the all-new series, Adoree was left far from happy when Dick started chopping down her treasured trees.

Keen to take advantage of the winter weather and the lack of weddings booked at the chateau, Dick explained he wanted to make a start by cutting her “overgrown” eucalyptus trees. 

Angel, on the other hand, appeared less than impressed with Dick’s idea and gave him a stark warning not to hack them down.

“If you’re cutting down the trees you have to allow me to freak out,” she exclaimed.

When Dick started sawing into the first tree, she remarked: “Oh my goodness, I just can’t look. Honestly, I just don’t feel well.”

After slashing the first tree trunk, a dismayed Angel shook her head and added: “I just can’t believe that you’ve done that – I really can’t believe it.

“Babes, are you sure this is all going to work?”

Dick then hilariously replied saying “no”, while he carried on cutting down the trees in front of a horrified Adoree. 

Bursting into laughter, he then admitted: “Look, I’ve never done this with eucalyptus before, but we have to do this.”

Almost immediately looking on in despair, Angel placed her head in her hands while her hubby started piling up the trees in the snow. 

She told him: “You can’t just do this. Darling, look, I’ve spent years growing this.

“I’m really being serious – you could literally be taking away years’ worth of work.”

The episode was the first instalment of the eighth season and viewers welcomed the couple back with open arms. 

One fan wrote: “Just realised Escape to the Chateau is back. I was only saying last week I need it back and it’s perfect autumnal viewing.”

While another viewer penned: “Showered, cuppa tea on the go and Escape to the Chateau on – my Sunday night is back.”

Escape to the Chateau continues next Sunday on Channel 4 at 8pm.
