And that thing just happened to be their hometown Newcastle. They were then told that the person responsible for carrying out the destruction would be something from their own thoughts. Ant quickly shouted at Dec to completely empty his head of any thoughts, but it was too late as the villain of the piece was revealed to be a giant Go Compare man, with Dec admitting he couldn't get the advert icon out of his mind.
The Go Compare man was seen towering above the streets of Newcastle city centre, before knocking Grey's Monument down and wrecking the Tyne Bridge. Ant and Dec's hearts were in their mouths as he threatened to do the same to St James' Park, home of their beloved Newcastle United, before Dec eventually struck a deal.
Ant and Dec weren't the only ones left in a cold sweat. Even though the plot was entirely fictional, Geordie viewers at home could hardly watch. One tweeted: "The go compare man by greys monument! He can’t destroy the Ant and Dec holy land!!!!!!!"
A second responded: "new sentence: go compare man destroys newcastle," with another quipping: "always knew the go compare man was a monster."
