Taking to Instagram, the pair, who finished their Channel 4 programme Escape the Chateau in November 2022, announced they'll be taking their Dare to Do It tour to America and Canada next year for a number of dates in February and March.

"It's been some months in the planning and we are delighted to finally announce that we are Coming to America!! And Canada this February 2024 with our Dare To Do It Tour! The excitement is tangible and Arthur & Dorothy have already started packing!" they began in the caption.

"Touring is like a dream come true for our family. We get to meet many of you that have been on our journey since day one and in between we get to see places we could never have imagined!

"In tour world, where shows are often booked years in advance, February 2024 is literally around the corner. The tour being so soon, did mean many of our chosen locations simply had no availability, so this will be a shorter tour, but that does means that we will just have to come back!"

One fan wrote: "New York, No New York???" as a second said: "I hope you will consider coming back for another tour of America, the heartland next time."

The parents involve their two children, Arthur and Dorothy, heavily in their renovation and gardening work, as well as teaching them important skills for adulthood. Angel previously told HELLO!: "The best way for them to learn is on the job, so we try and include them in all sorts of projects from crafting, cooking, and gardening. They love it – kids are like sponges and absorb all the experiences you give them…"
