Dick and Angel Strawbridge won't be taking on any new bookings at their chateau amid 'bullying claims', according to reports.

The Escape to the Chateau stars amassed of legion of loyal fans from their Channel 4 show, and offered a £38,000 wedding service at their French mansion.

However, the couple's website currently says: "We are currently on a two-year weddings ‘catch-up’, we will reopen enquiries as soon as we can!"

The couple's other services, including a Chateau Under the Stars experience, which costs £350 per night and a £75 Working Garden Day are also 'currently unavailable'.

The reports come just days after Channel 4 told the Mirror they had decided to part ways with Dick and Angel "following a review" after years of working together.

A representative for Channel 4 told us: "Following a review we have taken the decision to not work with Dick and Angel on any new productions in the future."

Meanwhile, a source told the Daily Mail: "Dick and Angel come across on screen as the most gorgeous and lovely couple, literally like butter wouldn't melt, but they're not like that off-screen.

"It's a full-on show, production is with them at the chateau for weeks so they can't hide their real characters – they can't turn it on for two hours of recording and then not go back to their real persona.

"They're just spiky and volatile people and, as you can imagine, that's a nightmare to work with."

The reality star couple have been married since 2015 and share two children - while 63-year-old Dick has two other kids from a previous marriage.

Fans loved their fairytale story as the couple renovated a 19th-century, 45-bedroom Château de la Motte-Husson in Martigné-sur-Mayenne, France.

However, it seems the dream has turned into a bit of nightmare with Two Rivers Media confirming to the Mirror they also have cut ties and will no longer be working with the couple.

A spokesperson said: "We can confirm that we will no longer work with Dick and Angel and cannot comment further at the moment.”

Dick and Angel, however, seemed unfazed when they made their first social media posts recently to share a clip of their children Arthur and Dorothy hanging out outside the chateau.

They wrote alongside the video: “Last weekend we went for a Spring walk around the grounds…it’s nature at its best, and there was something for everyone to be excited about! Simple and beautiful.”

The Mirror has contacted Dick and Angel's reps for comment.
