EXCLUSIVE: Channel 4 is facing fresh questions over how it dealt with bullying allegations against the stars of its hit series, Escape to the Chateau, after the emergence of a leaked recording featuring Angel Strawbridge hurling offensive language at a producer.
Deadline revealed last week that Channel 4 had cut ties with Dick and Angel Strawbridge following an independent investigation into their conduct, but sources argued that the broadcaster should have taken action against the couple sooner.
Channel 4 has a “zero tolerance” approach to bullying and harassment, but did not fully investigate evidence that came to light in 2021, which purported to show Angel calling a producer a “f*****g c**t.”
Deadline has now obtained a copy of an audio recording of Angel that appears to show that this was not an isolated incident. In the clip, published below, she can be heard describing a member of the Escape to the Chateau film crew as a “f****d up little c**t.”
During the altercation, Angel questioned two producers about a delay to her schedule for the day. As her anger grew, she accused one of the individuals of posting images on Instagram of a man who had a likeness to her husband, Dick.
“Who is that inspired by when you’re f*****g working at the chateau? Just tell me that and then you can f*****g leave and this is me f*****g angry because I think you’re a f****d up little c**t,” she said.
The clip was recorded during filming on one of the first four seasons of Escape to the Chateau. Earlier in the audio, Angel said that her husband Dick talked to people like “s**t,” to which a producer responded: “And I don’t like that either.”
A representative for the Strawbridges declined to comment. The couple has previously denied
