In May 2023, Angel Strawbridge had accusations of bullying thrown her way, leaving her and husband, Dick, in hot water with Channel 4.
At the time, a crew member appeared to be unimpressed with how he was being treated on set. Consequently, The Escape to the Chateau stars were left reeling after the broadcasters ultimately cut ties with the pair.
A Deadline report explained that the broadcaster had ordered a HR investigation after Two Rivers Media (the producers of their popular TV show) raised concerns about the TV personalities. Just a fortnight later, a foul-mouthed audio recording of Angel was leaked – where she was heard dubbing one of the programmes’ producers a string of expletives.
Now, Angel has shared her thoughts and she is insistent that she will “not apologise”.

Angel Strawbridge blasts bullying claims
In a candid, sit-down chat with journalist Elizabeth Day on her How To Fail podcast, Angel admitted that she “regrets” the way she expressed herself but is keen to highlight the “tsunami of untruths” that surrounded the scandal.
Elizabeth Day explained on social media about the interview: “Escape to the Chateau, which followed the Strawbridges as they renovated a dilapidated French castle with no water, no electricity or heating (and with two young children in tow) ran for nine seasons before coming to an end in 2022.
“Shortly afterwards, an audio recording of Angel speaking angrily to an unknown man was leaked. It made headline news – and this is the first time Angel has ever spoken publicly about what the newspapers termed an ‘explicit rant’.
“Today, she finally gives her side of the story. She reveals what actually happened and why – even if she might regret the way she expressed herself – she has absolutely no regrets about standing up for herself.”

Sporting her usual stylish attire, including a beret and a patterned neck scarf, Angel has shed light on the scenario. She said: “I will not apologise. I stand by what I said.”
She continued: “If I apologised for my bad language and said: ‘Sorry for chucking you out,’”
