Legendary broadcast duo Ant & Dec have aimed a cheeky dig at Everton shot stopper Jordan Pickford. Often playing the role of pantomime villain when he face Newcastle, Pickford's Sunderland roots have always meant there has been a strong rivalry between the two sides.
The England international has never shied away from his red and white loyalties, frequently attempting to wind up Newcastle fans when he is between the sticks against the Magpies. And Newcastle fans Ant & Dec have poked fun at the former Sunderland shot stopper in a video posted to Twitter.
In the video, which is aimed at promoting their first children's book - 'Propa Happy' - the pair start to draw something that makes them happy.
And while Ant decided to draw his three dogs, Milo, Hurley and Bumble, Dec's drawing of happiness came at Pickford's expense.

"This makes me very happy," said Dec revealing his drawing to Ant.
"This is Callum Wilson, number nine, for Newcastle United, scoring a goal, against Jordan Pickford!"
Born in Washington, Pickford spent his youth team days on the books of Sunderland. He broke into the senior team in 2016, becoming the first choice goalkeeper after an injury to Vito Mannone paved the way for him. While Sunderland were relegated at the end of the 2016/17 campaign, Pickford earned plenty of plaudits, moving to Everton that summer in a £25m move.
Since then he has gone on to lockdown the no.1 shirt for England. However, whenever the 28-year-old has faced off against Newcastle for the Toffees, Pickford has experienced mixed fortunes.
While he has tasted victory over the Magpies, there have been a number of occasion where he has been left with a red face, most notably in the 2018/19 campaign where he saw his Everton side go 2-0 up before squandering their lead to lose 3-2 in the second half.
