Others were also left marvelling at just how much Dorothy and Arthur have grown over the last two years, with one writing: "Aww so cute but look at Arthur and Dorothy!!! They look so tiny there!!"

Someone else echoed this, adding: "Arthur is well above Dick's shoulder now. He has grown a lot in two years. A rugby player in the making I reckon."

The family adopted Petale back in 2020

The family-of-four have recently returned to their stunning 19th century home in France after wrapping their six-week-long tour across the UK, the Dare To Do It Tour. They will soon return to screens with brand new episodes showcasing their latest renovations to the 45-bedroom property, which they snapped up in 2015 for just £280,000.

 While most of the renovation is now complete, the chateau is a project that will never end, as Angel previously told HELLO!: "The house is evolving and things are being moved around to how they were always meant to be and we have endless outbuildings."

Dick added that they had no plans to move anywhere after creating their perfect home, saying: "I've got no intention of going anywhere. I'm going to be planted here. I get a headache even thinking about moving."
