Angel Strawbridge is best known for her role on Channel 4's Escape to the Chateau, but did you know she once appeared on Dragons' Den?
December 04, 2022 - 17:49 GMT Nicky Morris Escape to the Chateau isn't the first reality programme that its star Angel Strawbridge has appeared on. Back in 2010, the mum-of-two sought investment from the panel of multi-millionaires on Dragons' Den for her hospitality company, The Vintage Patisserie.
Angel chose to go with Deborah's offer, but after the show decided to back out. After appearing on the programme, the businesswoman met her now-husband, Dick Strawbridge, and felt that he was all the support that she needed in her entrepreneurial endeavours. "Dick came along and ended up being my support and sounding board, and actually, after a while, I realised I did not want to open the restaurant."She added that there was"no big reason" why she chose to back out of the deal and that she and Deborah still stay in contact. Dick opened up about his first meeting with Angel in an interview with The Times in 2020."The first thing I saw when I met Angel — I call her Angela — was her smile. It's phenomenal," he said.
