The series made the pair household names as 2.5 million viewers regularly poured in to see the renovation of their 19th century Château de la Motte-Husson in Martigné-sur-Mayenne, France.
It was previously made by production company Spark Media Partners, who oversaw the first four seasons from 2016 to 2018. But it also allegedly cut ties with the Strawbridges over a feud.
A Channel 4 representative said: “Channel 4 plays an active role in exposing unacceptable behavior in our industry.
“Following a review of our processes in 2021, we have made it easier to file a complaint both formally and informally.
“We require all our manufacturing partners to follow our Supplier Code of Conduct and when concerns are raised with us, they will be taken seriously and steps will be taken to ensure they are investigated and appropriately addressed.
“There is always more to do and together with our suppliers we are committed to building safe, inclusive and professional work environments.”
In recent weeks, Angel and Dick have been labeled ‘prickly’, ‘volatile’ and ‘a nightmare to work with’ amid their feud with Channel 4, after the network confirmed they would be severing ties with the pair.
Sources close to the pair told MailOnline that their on-set behavior was nothing like their “gorgeous” on-screen personas.
Insiders added that they couldn’t hide their “real characters” from crew members who spent weeks with them filming the popular show in northwestern France.
A representative for Angel and Dick Strawbridge declined to comment further to MailOnline.
