While fans in the UK were thrilled, other fans of the sweet show - which sees Dick and Angel renovate their French chateau - shared their disappointment at being unable to watch the show from their location. 

One person wrote: "Not here you won’t - I’m in Canada, we wait a long time before we get anything from y’all .. and it sucks," while another added: "When will it air in the U.S.?"

The heartbreaking news to fans of the show was confirmed in a statement from the couple, which read: "Escape to the Chateau has been our family journey; our decision to buy a Chateau with no water, electricity, heating or sewage has taken us on the adventure of a lifetime and we could never have imagined what would unfold. 

"The good, the bad and the ugly… we have cherished every second and love that we have a visual record to show Arthur and Dorothy when they’re older. We’re so grateful to everyone who continues to support us, and we’re looking forward to what the future holds. As one Chateau chapter ends, so another Chateau story begins."
