They’re the real-life couple who turned their dreams of owning a storybook castle into reality – and inspired countless others in the process.

Dick and Angel Strawbridge’s transformation of the derelict Chateau de la Motte-Husson – a French castle with no running water, electricity, heating or sewage – was documented in the hit Escape To The Chateau TV series.

Now, having called time on the show after eight years, the pair are making their debut trip Down Under with their live stage show, Dare To Do It! With Dick & Angel, a show that will see the charismatic pair reveal untold tales and share fascinating insights into what inspired their French tree change.

Ahead of new shows this month, Dick, 63, and Angel, 44, exclusively chat with Woman’s Day about their renovation regrets and reveal details about their secret new travel project.

This will be your first visit to Australia, right?
