"This weekend is a big one for the Strawbridges," the caption began. "Today is Angel's birthday, and tomorrow they'll celebrate Dorothy's birthday! Their weekend will be full of festivities surrounded by friends and family. Happy Birthday Angel and Dorothy!"

The family's "big weekend" comes just months after they began filming for their new Channel 4 show, Escape to the Chateau: Secret France, which will air later this year.

Fans will be glad to see the Strawbridges back on their screens following the emotional final episode of Escape to the Chateau, which aired back in December.
