The cast of the Strictly Come Dancing tour fully ingratiated themselves to their Newcastle crowd on Wednesday night - mentioning a certain football result on more than one occasion as the show threatened to become a United love-in.
The Strictly tour is a massive audience puller across the country year after year and it’s arrival on Tyneside came less than 24 hours after Newcastle United booked their place in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley, with a 2-1 victory over Southampton.
Now, while a Strictly show and a football match could be seen as polar opposites, it didn’t take long for the references to the Magpies getting to Wembley to come flooding in inside the Utilita Arena.
