A couple from Kidderminster have thanked the community for their support after they appeared on a hit TV show.
Tyler Richards and Megan Mullen-Knight were featured on the Channel 4 series George Clarke's Amazing Spaces last week.
The innovative pair showcased their creative and ambitious project to transform a Severn Trent Water tank in Trimpley into a luxurious short-term letting property.
The episode, which aired on Thursday (July 18), saw the couple overcome unique challenges to bring their vision to life and turn the tank into a stylish and cosy living space.
This included creating an underground cinema bedroom and a hot tub area with incredible views of Kidderminster.

Builder Tyler Richards, aged 29, said: "The messages of support have been amazing. We are a normal building family so to receive so much love and support from both loyal customers and the wider community has been incredible.
"We rented out a hall with our friends and family to watch the episode which was really lovely. It was great to see their faces and my aunt even got emotional when she saw us on the screen.
"It has been a unique challenge for us as it is a different build to what we have done previously. There was a lot of reinforced concrete as Severn Trent really built the tank to last so to overcome everything and create this amazing space has been a big accomplishment."
Mr Richards bought the water tank as a bit of a risk with his dad Darren who has been a builder for around 40 years.

The 28-year-old said he looks for unique and quirky properties and after seeing a sign advertising that the tank was up for auction, he thought it could provide an ideal opportunity.
He is now letting the transformed space on Airbnb alongside other properties in the family's portfolio via their company Hidden Gems Luxury Escapes.
The company is a real family effort with Mr Richards and his dad doing the building work, his mum Natalie doing the cleaning and maintenance of the properties and Ms Mullen-Knight focusing on the interior design of the buildings.
The business has more than 150,000 Instagram followers with many of their posts getting more than 6 million views.

Mr Richards added: "A lot of hard work and dedication went into finishing the water tank project. You don't get to see all of the hard work that goes on behind the scenes on TV.
"There were many early mornings and late evenings that we spent creating the space alongside doing our normal day-to-day jobs.
"We have been approached to do more TV work and it is something we are looking to do in the future. We are now on the hunt for our next property and can't wait to transform more incredible spaces in the local area and help attract people to the town."
