Dick and Angel Strawbridge are embarking on a UK tour after their rant at a producer was leaked and they were axed by Channel 4.
The couple were dropped by Channel 4 and the show’s production company Two Rivers Media in May after being placed under investigation for an unknown reason.
The broadcaster’s probe followed multiple accusations about Dick, 63, and Angel’s, 45, behaviour, with a source from Escape To The Chateau’s former production company Spark Media claiming to The Times they were ‘abusive and bullying’ in 2021.
The couple denied the allegations of aggressive and bullying behaviour to the publication at the time.
This year, a further three of their former colleagues claimed to Deadline that they clashed with producers, while a further source alleged they were a ‘nightmare to work with.’
The same outlet obtained the audio, heard by Metro.co.uk, in which it is claimed Angel can be heard calling a producer a ‘f***ing c**t’ and describing how ‘f***ing angry’ she was.

After the leak, the couple wrote on Instagram, while promoting a meet and greet, that it had been a ‘humbling couple of days.’
Now, the couple have decided to embark on a 33-date theatre tour with a show entitled Dick and Angel – Forever Home (Avec Le Nitty Gritty).’
In a message on their website, the pair said: ‘Touring with [children] Arthur, Dorothy, Papi & Grandma has been such a joy, and we can’t wait to return to the UK to share tales of our adventures, challenges, and the successes of building and living our Chateau dream.

‘There is only so much of our story that can be told on the telly, and as life at the Château continues to evolve, we will share insight into what it takes to build a forever home.
‘Expect an interactive evening of fun, games, myth-busting and stories, and experience the Château like never before.’
The statement continued: ‘They may be an “odd couple”, but this charismatic pair have a love story to share, and a lot to say.

‘A highly interactive show, with fun, games and the chance to pose your own questions, you do not want to miss this.’
It comes after it was reported Dick and Angel are closing down a company that bears the chateau’s name.
The private company was initially set up in 2017, but the application to close it was made on May 9 this year by the directors Dick and Angel.
The website for the Chateau, where the couple also lives, informs visitors that they are currently working on a backlog of weddings due to Covid-19 so are not taking new bookings. While events including ‘Chateau Under the Stars’ and ‘Working Garden Day’ are currently unavailable.
Dick and Angel addressed the accusations about their conduct for the first time on May 26, insisting there were ‘two sides to every story.’

They wrote: ‘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.’
The couple stressed that ending Escape to the Chateau was ‘a Strawbridge Family decision’.
Escape to the Chateau is available to stream on All4.
