Dick and Angel Strawbridge had fans emotional as they shared a snap of them alongside their children James and Charlotte – with their Instagram followers remarking they “couldn’t believe” how grown up the kids look. Dick and Angel shared an emotional statement after making “magical memories” while touring Australia.

In a new snap, Escape to the Chateau star Angel wowed in a floral green dress with a high collar, while Dick donned a checked blazer and a red waistcoat. Their kids stood between them for a sweet family snapshot, before the quartet headed to the beach and hung out with wallabies on a nature reserve.

The family posted to social media: “Thank you Australia for the magical memories! More to come on our adventures… but we had to share some of our favourite pictures. We have hugged, laughed and swapped stories with so many… it’s really been truly amazing.”

They signed off: “Thank you for the love. Until the next time!”

Fans flocked to the comments section, with one writing: “Cannot believe how much the kids have grown! Hope you all had a wonderful time.”

Another echoed: “The kids have grown up so quickly!” while a third social media user penned: “We loved it!! Can’t believe how much bigger the kids were this visit… come back to Melbourne!”

The Strawbridges have been touring down under for their Forever Home tour, bringing the Channel 4 show to Australia “like never before”. The event offers “a highly interactive show”, with contestants competing against each other to win a spot on stage with the family.

Dick and Angel promoted the tour with a statement that read: “There is only so much of our story that can be told on the telly, and as life at the Chateau continues to evolve, we will share an insight into what it takes to build a forever home.

“Expect an interactive evening of fun, games, myth-busting, plenty of stories, and experience the Chateau like never before. We simply can’t wait, and this time we get to hug you after!”
