Ant and Dec watch Newcastle United match from Florida

Geordie duo and the nation’s favourite presenters, Ant and Dec supported their home team while in Florida with Saturday Night Takeaway.

The pair, who were born and raised in Newcastle (Ant in Fenham and Dec in Cruddas Park), met on set on Newcastle based children’s TV show, Byker Grove.

Ant and Dec are huge supporters of their home city team, Newcastle United, and their love of the team is what cemented their friendship as children.

They are still huge fans to this day and were spotted at The Carabao Cup final on Sunday, February 26 which saw Newcastle United play against Manchester United.

Ant and Dec are currently in Florida, filming for Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway - although they have been visiting Florida tourist spots such as Universal Studios, they still managed to squeeze in a football match.

They duo posted a photo of themselves watching the Newcastle United match against West Ham which took place on Wednesday, April 5. Newcastle won the game, with a score of 5-1.

Ant and Dec’s photo was of the pair celebrating, with the match on a screen behind them. They captioned the post: “Taking a break from roller coasters to watch the Toon!” They also wrote “HOWAY THE LADS!” under their photo, alongside three emojis - the black circle, the white circle, and the party popper.

Ant and Dec have shared images of their trip to Instagram. Photos have included the pair in front of the Universal Studios sign, and dressed up in Harry Potter costumes.
