Dick and Angel Strawbridge have left fans flabbergasted after sharing photos of their children Arthur, 13, and Dorothy, 12.
The duo are heading back to school, so Angel shared their “obligatory first day” photos, but fans could not believe just how grown up they are.
Dorothy looked lovely, wearing a striped T-shirt and oversized jeans. Meanwhile, Arthur opted for a leopard print shirt over a red shirt, dark denim shorts and brown loafers.
Angel penned: “Hello to you on this truly Wonderful Wednesday! As promised…the obligatory first day of school photos! And just like that, another school year begins! We hope you’ve had a lovely day, wherever you are and whatever you’ve been up to XXX.”
“It doesn’t seem possible that they are that grown up! Oh, how I loved watching your show!” one fan penned. A second added: “They’re so grown up, and just so kind, and it just really shows what a beautiful family they all are.”
Meanwhile, a third penned: “I remember when Dorothy was just a baby in your arms! Arthur was running around with his big smile. Best wishes for a successful school year…”
Exciting update
Dorothy and Arthur‘s return to school came after Dick and Angel shared an update on their programme Escape to the Chateau, which started again in May after a four-year hiatus.
The popular series, which first premiered on Channel 4 in 2016, documented the family’s restoration of their derelict 19th-century chateau, which stood empty for 40 years.
Series 10 is expected to drop in the UK later this year, but fans in South Africa already have access.
