The lifestyle programme has gone stateside!

Meanwhile, on this side of the pond, Escape fans are loving the most recent instalment in the series, which began in November. As well as seeing fantastic transformations in Dick and Angel's Chateau such as their brand new library, renovated salon and orangery, many have high praise for the family elements of the show.

One viewer wrote: "Oh my goodness, I've always lived by the expression 'What's for you won't for by you!' Passed down by my great grannie and I very much believe in that too. So nice to hear you say that to your children another lovely evening of #EscapeToTheChateau."

A second fan also praised the Strawbridge family for getting children involved in the work around the house. They tweeted: "Dick and Angel [are] such a great team, soon the children will be able to [do] lots more too, although they are very helpful for their age. Great TV."
