Dick Strawbridge and Angel Adoree, the adored duo from Escape to the Chateau, are facing a wave of criticism from fans over their latest project. The couple, who won hearts with their charming French chateau renovations, are now accused of 'cashing in' with a new series that some viewers claim lacks the authenticity of their original show.
What's the Controversy About?
Channel 4 has announced a fresh series featuring the couple, but loyal fans are less than thrilled. Many took to social media to express their disappointment, arguing that the new format feels like a money-making scheme rather than the genuine, heartwarming content they fell in love with.
Fan Reactions
One viewer tweeted, 'It’s sad to see them exploit their success like this. The magic of Escape to the Chateau was its simplicity and authenticity.' Others echoed similar sentiments, with some even threatening to boycott the new show.
Channel 4's Response
Despite the backlash, Channel 4 remains optimistic. A spokesperson stated, 'Dick and Angel have a unique ability to captivate audiences. This new series will offer a fresh perspective while retaining the charm that made them so beloved.'
What’s Next for the Couple?
While the criticism stings, Strawbridge and Adoree show no signs of slowing down. With multiple projects in the pipeline, including a potential book deal, the couple continues to expand their brand—whether fans approve or not.
