Dick Strawbridge, star of Escape to the Chateau, posted a sweet message to his rarely seen daughter.
The TV celebrity, who had Charlotte with his first wife Brigit Strawbridge Howard, posted a video of her final day on her 715-kilometer journey.
Dick, 63, retweeted his daughter’s Twitter message complimenting her perseverance and even noted her younger brother Arthur’s reaction.
‘Well done gorgeous!!!’ he penned.
‘715km amazing – when Arthur and I watched the video he said ‘Wow – how does she walk back?’ Sending love.’
Clearly touched by her father’s response, Charlotte replied: ‘Haha…no chance! Thank you, Dad.’

After being placed under investigation for an unexplained cause, Dick and Angel were dismissed by Channel 4 and the show’s production firm Two Rivers Media in May.
The broadcaster’s probe followed multiple accusations about the duo’s behaviour, with a source from Escape To The Chateau’s former production company Spark Media claiming to The Times they were ‘abusive and bullying’ in 2021.
At the time, the pair rejected the charges of harsh and bullying behaviours to the journal.
On May 26, Dick and Angel addressed the allegations regarding their behaviour for the first time, arguing that there are “two sides to every story.”
They wrote: ‘We know there are lots of stories in the press right now. It’s not worth us even trying to comment or give context, because anything can be made into a good headline. We understand. There are two sides to every story and from the incredible support we have received, most of you know that.’
The pair insisted that the decision to cancel Escape to the Chateau was “a Strawbridge Family choice.”
Escape to the Chateau, which premiered in 2016, chronicled the couple’s difficult journey restoring and rebuilding the decaying 19th century Chateau de la Motte Husson in France into a family home and wedding venue where they reside with their children, Arthur and Dorothy.
