Dick and Angel controversy

In May, shortly after Channel 4 announced it was cutting ties with Dick and Angel, the latter was reportedly recorded launching a foul-mouthed attack at a Channel 4 producer. In the clip, obtained by Deadline, Angel allegedly called one member of the film crew a “[bleep] up little [bleep]”.

Dick and Angel soon hit back at claims about their behaviour towards producers though. In a statement on their Instagram, the couple said: “We know there are lots of stories in the press right now.

“It’s not worth us even trying to comment or give context, because anything can be made into a good headline. We understand. There are two sides to every story and from the incredible support we have received, most of you know that.”
