Escape to the Chateau's Angel Adoree rages 'are you serious' in rare spat with Dick Strawbridge
by James Rodger, https://www.facebook.com/jamesrodgerjournalist · Birmingham LiveAngel Adoree has hit out and demanded to know: "Are you taking the p***?" in a tense spat with husband. Angel, who shot to fame on Channel 4 Escape to the Chateau, took aim at her beau Dick as he shared a major change to their home in France.
On their latest podcast, the pair discussed changes to their "cuisinette". "We're now doing our cuisinette, the summer kitchen we did in the folly," Strawbridge began. "We put in other elements out there. When we did that, we were actually making sure that the area inside the walled garden had the shade through them (like) the leftover Welsh slates that we used on the orangerie.
"We had another pagoda area with a sort of see-through roof on it for sitting out. That whole area, which looks back towards the chateau from the northern corner of the walled garden, we wanted it to be beautiful." Angel told him: "We did. What's lovely is when you've got a relationship and you know somebody is gonna be really helpful, it was just straight on the to John chatting through different options."

Dick said: "It's got the size, it's got the shapes, and it does look chateau-esque." Angel replied: "Well, the chateau has always been like a mixture of like a little bit of sandstone and a little bit of granite. It's kind of like that mixture. And that's why the stone that we had was a mixture of the two. It was absolutely perfect.
"But if you take that and put it all over the walled garden, in terms of if you took the exact stone and put it on the path or around that area, it just doesn't go." Dick said: "Oh, I didn't realise. I thought it did. It's not the same? The stone in the walled garden isn't the same stuff in the front of the chateau?"
"Are you taking the p***?" Angel, with Dick: "No, I'm serious. I thought we bought more of the same. There we go. My comment was going to be completely different because I was surprised you put all the extra patterny bits in it because there's some quite nice terracotta..."
Angel said: "Are you serious? Are you completely serious?!" Dick replied: "Darling, obviously I'm not (joking). What are you talking about? It's not the same stone?" Angel said: "No! I mean, it's a million miles away." Dick said: "It's not a million miles away. I've seen the aerial photographs. It looks exactly the same."
"We got the same stone but in a totally different colour!" Angel said.
