Ant & Dec

Ant and Dec are often described as Tyneside's funniest showbiz duo. They're everyones favourite Geordie lads.

Tyneside's fab duo have been thrilling their fans with their brand of zany humour since they arrived at TV's Byker Grove in 1990.

It's been a rollercoaster ride ever since with the lads doing everything from enjoying a hugely successful singing career to fronting their own TV show,The Ant and Dec Show.

These days they're a national institution with an army of fans of all ages.
