The son of Dick Strawbridge has announced that his half siblings will inherit their parents' incredible Escape to the Chateau home.Channel 4's Escape to the Chateau star Dick, 63, and his wife Angel Adoree, 44, own the 45-bedroom Château de la Motte-Husson in the Mayenne area of France.Arthur, nine and Dorothy, eight, live in the palatial pile in northern France with their parents.

James, 38, who stars in new BBC cooking show Strawbridge Over the Drawbridge and also features in Escape to the Chateau, has now opened up about the future of the incredible home."When you go to the chateau, the work being done with the renovation is quite quick compared to when you look at a house with a 500-year history," he said."It's definitely more intense at the chateau than at these houses I visit [for my new series]. "Arthur and Dorothy's great-grandchildren - in many years' time and like one of the next generations - will probably have a bit more of a chilled-out vibe," he told Express.co.uk.

Dick's eldest son said his father and Angel are still in the process of "establishing" the Neo-Renaissance style chateau and praised the pair for their hard work.James and his sister Charlotte, 36, are from Dick's relationship with his first wife Brigit A.

Speaking about having a stepson close to her own age, Angel told NetMums’ podcast Sweat, Snot & Tears: "Me and James, we get on really, really well – we’re always talking about [how] he’s a real foodie and completely fabulous. "He’s really handsome, my nan had a massive crush on him!" she added."Whenever we used to go over to my nan’s house – she lived in East London – she’d be like, 'How’s James?!'"Angel added that she loves her step-kids "to bits"
