Dick Strawbridge and Angel Adoree have addressed the possibility of handing their chateau over to their children, Arthur, 10, and Dorothy, seven - and even them potentially giving it up.
The duo purchased the 19th-century Château de la Motte-Husson in France back in 2015 and thanks to Channel 4 series Escape to the Chateau, fans have witnessed how Strawbridge and Adoree have transformed it into a stunning venue.
However, Channel 4 viewers will now have to look elsewhere to see what the latest developments at the chateau are given ETTC was cancelled last year.
Escape to the Chateau's ending was marred by rumours of a "deteriorating relationship" between production company Two Rivers and Strawbridge and Adoree but the husband and wife duo haven't let it stop them from exploring new projects.
Strawbridge and Adoree have launched their own podcast and even released a new book.
And it was at the launch of the latter that the pair faced a grilling from fans about their plans for the chateau's future under their ownership.

When asked what would happen if their children don't want the chateau and decide to give it up, Adoree answered: "We have never been asked that until now. It's a good question because you don't know what tomorrow brings.
"We have set this up as their forever home. We have got multi-generational living but we also make it really, really clear that there is absolutely no pressure.
"We expect them to travel the world but for us, we just know that we have done the best that we can and they have got some security now.
"It's like having a business and expecting your children to take it on and the reality is they may not want that. We just have to see what tomorrow holds," she added, according to Express.co.uk.
Strawbridge weighed in to insist it's entirely their children's decision what they do with the chateau once their parents hand it down.
For now though, neither parents have a gauge on what either of their two kids wants to do, says the publication.
The revelation about the chateau's future comes just weeks after the pair returned to screens to address the controversy surrounding ETTC's ending.
And Strawbridge once again said it was with his children in mind that the decision was made to shelve the series, as he told Christine Lampard on Lorraine: "It's interesting because we were on Lorraine before Christmas explaining the end of the ninth series.
"You see Arthur... Arthur kisses his mum on the forehead on the programme because he's bigger - he's about to go to senior school, and as a family we made a decision that last year was going to be the finale of Escape to the Chateau.
"So we finished and with that, we told everybody at the beginning of the year and everybody knew it was finishing.

"When people started talking about the end of what we were doing, it wasn’t news, it was something that happened a long time in the past. We made the decision just not to get involved in any of the conversations because..." Strawbridge continued before Adoree shared her thoughts.
She weighed in: "You know, our Queen said, 'Never complain and never explain'. I think that was just the best way, for us, none of it made sense because we had made that family decision a long time ago that it was the right time that Escape had come to its natural end."
Strawbridge then insisted the decision to end the series was a result of his children growing up as well as their hectic work schedules away from filming.
He explained: "We knew that Arthur and Dorothy had got to an age in their life... when they were little they just didn't understand what was going on - it's a very different world we're living in.
"And us as a family, this year we finally caught up with the weddings post-Covid and that's ridiculous how long that's been," he added before hinting that their "silly busy" schedule would have made filming too big a challenge.
