Malala Yousafzai enjoys stay at Vermont Hotel as Newcastle owner welcomes couple to St James' Park

Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai has been spotted in Newcastle on a weekend visit with her husband Asser Malik.

Malala is a Pakistani activist for female education who became known around the world in 2012 after she was shot in the head on a school bus by a Taliban gunman for speaking out against their terrorist regime. She made an incredible recovery in England and since then has continued her fight for the right of every child to receive an education, setting up the Malala Fund.

But over the weekend, the 24-year-old appeared to take some time out to enjoy the Easter Bank Holiday in Newcastle. Malala stayed at The Vermont Hotel in the city centre with husband Asser Malik, who is a "proud" Newcastle United supporter.
