Escape to the Chateau's Dick Strawbridge has a grown-up son called James, 38, who rarely features on the hit Channel 4 show. To celebrate Father's Day, James shared a collection of sweet snaps of him and his father and it was then reposted by Dick much to the delight of his fans.

Comments on the post included: " You are definitely your dad's mini me without a doubt" and: "Chip off the old block." A third added: "Identical twins," while a fourth penned: "You are both a handsome pair, treasure your moments together."

The first photograph was a black and white shot of James kissing his father on the cheek and the subsequent ones to follow included candid pictures of the pair on various holidays. One of the pictures was a throwback to when James was much younger before he grew a beard just like his dad.

Eagle-eyed and dedicated fans will remember that James actually appeared in an episode of Escape to the Chateau when Angel threw her parents a party.
