Dick and Angel Strawbridge have announced that they are taking a break from their podcast, Dick and Angel's CHAT…EAU, over the summer as they prepare to return with a second season.
The couple, who rose to fame on Channel 4's documentary series Escape to the Chateau, shared the exciting news on social media.
"Hello! Thank you to everyone who has tuned into Dick and Angel's CHAT…EAU Podcast during the last year!" the pair penned. "We are taking a break for the summer but will be back in September for Season Two!
"In preparation we are doing a special: ASK US ANYTHING Q&A. So…ask away in the comments below!!!"

We last saw the pair in their travel series, Secret France, which aired in June. The three-part series saw Dick and Angel "go off the beaten track" as they explore little-known locations across the country, "seeking out the unexpected and uncovering the extraordinary".

After the show ended, there were reports about clashes between the Strabwridges and the show's producers.
Addressing the claims during an appearance on ITV's Lorraine in October last year, Dick said: "We made a decision that last year was going to be the finale and we told everybody. So, when the stories came out and everybody started talking about the show ending, it wasn't news, it was something that had happened a long time ago in the past."
In an exclusive interview with HELLO! in December, the couple revealed that they had their children's future in mind when deciding to end the programme.
"We made the decision because the kids are growing older, and all the parallel activity was not sustainable at this level. We are doers and we are never going to stop completely, but we're also protecting them," said Dick, adding that with Arthur starting senior school, the pressure on their little ones is "phenomenal".
