Ant McPartlin got in the mood for seeing Newcastle United at Wembley on Sunday, with a show of support for his team before cameras started roiling on Saturday Night Takeaway.
Ant and his presenting partner in crime Dec Donnelly were gutted not to be at St James' Park at the start of February to see NUFC bag their first trip to Wembley in 24 years for the Carabao Cup final, with a 2-1 second leg win over Southampton on home turf. While Britain's Got Talent filming commitments prevented them from making the trip to Tyneside, they took to Twitter straight after the final whistle to share their excitement at getting to see the Magpies in action on the big stage again.
On Friday, in an interview on Heart Breakfast, Ant and Dec admitted that they were more nervous for Sunday's game then they were for the first live show of Takeaway's new series, joking that their ITV show returning was 'a nice distraction' to take their mind off Newcastle's clash with Manchester United.
