Escape to the Country's Jack Drury and his fiancee Anna appeared on the show on Wednesday and have since faced a barrage of abuse over their £850k budget

Escape to the Country star Jack Drury has addressed public backlash to the episode of the BBC show featuring himself and his girlfriend, after viewers were left stunned by the couple's £850,000 budget for their first home.

He further said: "The real story I think of that episode is that our budget does not buy us the average detached house and Buckinghamshire - Escape to the Country gave that number as £881,000, which is above our budget. So we can't even buy the average detached house according to the show." The pair were on the hunt for a place where they could potentially start a family in the future, and more immediately, provide a garden and space for their dog Dexter. However, many viewers questioned how the young couple had access to such a substantial amount of money.

"There has been intense speculation about our own circumstances. While I consider this to be largely a private matter, to quell the 'mummy and daddy' nonsense, I will say that we inherited in circumstances nobody would choose, and recognise that we are very fortunate to earn salaries that we can leverage."
