VIWERS were left raging as they tuned into George Clark's Remarkable Renovations to see a couple transforming an old bank.

But the pair's choices left fans of the Channel 4 show in despair when they chose to rip out the property's most identifiable feature.

The programme aired on Wednesday night and showed husband and wife team Richard and Sarah from Cornwall, snap up a Grade II listed Victorian bank for £50,000.

Purchased at auction in 2017, the couple planned to use a £100,000 budget to turn the space into a sumptuous for them and their two daughters - although they ended up spending a whopping £350,000.

Richard, a surf brand owner and Sarah, an interior designer, were keen to show George the bank's safe door and they watched as the host attempted to open the "two tonne" door.

Laughing as he struggled with the task in hand, before he gasped with amazement at the room behind the door.

But as viewers watched the transformation, they noticed the magnificent safe door was nowhere to be seen by the end of the show.

Instead it had been melted down and turned into a bathtub for the master bedroom ensuite.

'DEFINITELY A MISTAKE!'

And so they rushed to Twitter to vent their rage at one very specific choice made by the developers.

"Why would you remove the safe door! Definitely a mistake!#RemarkableRenovations,"; raged one person.

A second added: "EVERY visitor will ask where the safe is.

"Same as buying a ex police station or fire station. Where are the cells / pole. #RemarkableRenovations".

Another joked: "First visitor, oh wow you live in a former bank….. can I see the safe.

"Yep the bathroom is on the first floor."

A fourth said angrily: "Absolutely furious they got rid of that safe."

"Still reeling that they removed the safe door," wrote one viewer.

"The one and only feature that made it a bank and its gone."

But not everyone was disappointed by the design choices made, as one added: "What a fabulous #remarkablerenovations And the rollttop bath made out of the safe door! Fabulous!"
