The Channel 4 stars recently returned from their Dare To Do It tour but had another reason to celebrate

Dick Strawbridge and Angel Adoree recently celebrated their daughter Dorothy Strawbridge’s 10th birthday and left their fans in tears with the heartfelt post.

Strawbridge and Adoree’s Chanel 4 series Escape to the Chateau began in 2016, which meant that their daughter was just two years old when she first appeared on screen.


Since then, their youngest child has grown up in the spotlight and received support from not only her parents but their ever-growing fanbase - although Strawbridge and Adoree recently opened up on the "teenage challenges" they have ahead of them

Adoree recently posted on her Instagram a collage of images over the last 10 years of her daughter and penned a heartfelt caption alongside it.

“The last decade flew by...but also played out in slow motion…how does that happen!?! It’s been a true pleasure to watch you grow.

“Your determined, funny, creative & caring nature fills our hearts. Happy Birthday darlin gal…carry on being the beautiful you! Love your gushy mummy & daddy.”

Fans were quick to say happy birthday to the youngest, with one noting: “Happiest birthday wishes to you from California. Such a pleasure to watch you grow up. Enjoy your special day.”

“Wow! Happy birthday to you, you lovely girl!” another added before a third said: “She grew up in front of our eyes. May she grow even more beautiful and intelligent in the years to come. Happy birthday.”

A fourth added: “Wow 10 so soon, Happy B/day have a fun day with family & friend.”

“Happy 10th Birthday Dorothy! Hope you have a fantastic time celebrating with family and friends,” one said before a sixth penned: “Oh my, I remember when the family came in for the first time.” (sic)

Following the social media post, Adoree and Strawbridge have since revealed the lengths they're going to for their daughter's big day.

Speaking on the latest episode of their podcast, Dick & Angel's Chat...Eau, Adoree told listeners: "Dorothy had a couple of things (she wanted). She said to me, 'I think I've grown out of my pink stage, mum'... in her bedroom. And she's 10! And I was like, 'Okay...'"

"She's a goth now," Strawbridge chipped in before bursting into laughter as Adoree continued: "Definitely not a goth! I did think she was gonna go a bit gothy at one point...

"But she said, 'I just want something a little bit more grown-up', which I thought was really sweet.

"So we started to look for inspiration and she wants quite a neutral pallet with lots of greenery in her room and to focus on a new makeup table and to get rid of some of her teddies but not all of them.

"We're not getting 'rid of them' rid of them because of the memories... but they're going into the games room where we've got a little bit more space."

Adoree went on to reveal her daughter's favourite colour at the moment is a "pastel sage green" as she looks to renovate the youngster's bedroom which, at the moment, "everything is pink".

Not ignoring the massive task ahead of them., Strawbridge quipped it was a "real clear out".
