Ant and Dec 'tried to buy Byker Grove'

TV duo Ant and Dec have revealed they once tried to buy the 'Byker Grove' building to turn into a performing arts academy for North East youngsters.

The pair were given their big break in the BBC's teenage drama in the 1990s and went on to present some of the most popular programmes on television.

They received their latest two awards at the weekends last weekend for their ITV show Saturday Night Takeaway.
