Ant and Dec have celebrated Newcastle booking a trip to Wembley with a typically Geordie reaction that echoed the sentiments of every other United fan, after telling fans hours earlier that they 'wish' they could have been at the big game.
Ever since there were young TV stars on Byker Grove, Ant and Dec have been regulars at St James' Park, getting to matches wherever they can. They were memorably in the stands for United's first home match after the much celebrated takeover in 2021, with Dec then spotted at Craven Cottage to see Newcastle beat Fulham 4-1 earlier this season.
Unfortunately for the boys, the Magpies' crunch game against Southampton on Tuesday night clashed with their Britain's Got Talent commitments, meaning they didn't get to take their place in the SJP stands to witness an incredible atmosphere under the lights and see local DJ Schak get the evening off to a great start with a pitch side set.
