ANT and Dec are in the running to become Newcastle's next managerial duo (kind of).
That's right – the iconic television duo could swap Saturday Night Takeaway for Match of the Day with the pair priced at 250/1 to replace Steve Bruce at St James' Park!

Entertainment has been in short supply for loyal Toon supporters this season.
They've failed to win a single Premier League match and currently sit 19th in the division with three points.
Disgruntled Newcastle fans have long wished for a change in management.
And with the Saudi-backed takeover set to be pushed through today – hope is on the horizon.
It'll end Mike Ashley's 14-year ownership and tee up a significant cash windfall with the consortium's total wealth dwarfing that of Manchester City and PSG combined.
And without Ashley in his corner – Bruce could well become the first casualty of a new era on Tyneside.
