Angel Adoree and Dick Strawbridge embarked on the adventure of a lifetime when they bought an abandoned 19th century château in the heart of France seven years ago. The couple haven’t looked back since, continuing to renovate their stunning home and keeping their Escape to the Chateau fans updated as they do so. With Channel 4 documenting many aspects of their lives, it’s no wonder viewers want to find out everything they can about the duo.
Aside from starring in Escape to the Chateau with her husband Dick Strawbridge, Angel Adoree is best known for writing the Vintage Tea Party book series.
Dragons’ Den fans may remember when he appeared on the BBC show and was offered a £100,000 investment for his business The Vintage Patisserie by Deborah Meaden and Theo Paphitis.
Although the investment did not go ahead after the show, in 2011 Angel opened his first vintage patisserie in Hackney.
The shop is no longer open and Angel now operates as a 1940s themed events business based in his home, Chateau de-la-Motte Husson.

How old is Angel Adoree, the star of Escape to the Chateau?
Angel Adoree was born on April 7, 1978 in East London, which means the Escape to the Chateau star is now 44 years old.
When she went on Dragons’ Den, Angel was 32 and married Dick Strawbridge five years later.
The pair hit it off immediately after meeting at a party through their shared agent.
Ángel and Dick made the big move of venturing to France the same year they got married.
Angel previously opened up on the ID10T podcast show with Chris Hardwick about their initial meeting.
She said: “Dick was in his 50s and I was in my 30s and it’s quite easy to say, ‘Find someone younger’, which you did.
“But then you thought, ‘No, I’ll just go there, try it.’
Dick also opened up to the Belfast Telegraph by telling Angel to find a “young man”, but of course she didn’t listen.
