Dick Strawbridge took to social media to dedicate a sweet post to his "gorgeous" eldest daughter Charlotte Strawbridge. The TV star, who appears on adored Channel 4 programme, Escape to the Chateau alongside his wife Angel, retweeted his daughter's post of a video displaying her incredible artistic talent.
The video in question shows Charlotte painting a beautiful picture and Dick, clearly a proud dad, wrote above: "My gorgeous daughter is very clever I loved seeing her creativity and in addition now we all know it's hedgehog awareness week!"
Charlotte responded to the support from her father with a comment that read: "Thank you for sharing, Dad…and hopefully all the little French hedgehogs (or the les hérissons as they like to be called over with you) will know we are looking after them too x."
Dick's fans were equally as impressed with the portrait. One wrote underneath: "Absolutely stunning, very talented Charlotte." As another wrote: "Wow wonderful," while a third said: "She is a star, Dick!!! You must be so proud."
