Ant and Dec talk of their road from Byker Grove to Baftas as they help young people into work

Geordie stars Ant and Dec have spoken of their road from Byker Grove to the Baftas as they launched a new programme to help young people find work in the media and entertainment industry.

The Britain's Got Talent hosts, who won best entertainment show at the Baftas for Saturday Night Takeaway, were in Newcastle to launch their Making it in Media programme at The Prince’s Trust.

The TV duo surprised a group of 16 to 25-year-olds who were starting the two-week programme, and spoke to them about their career and their route to success. The course will provide the young people with expert training on topics such as editing, camera work, script writing and digital skills.
