Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly joined their respective wives Anne-Marie and Ali for a nail-biting Carabao Cup final at Wembley Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The TV presenting duo, who have been life-long Newcastle United supporters, were in attendance as they played Manchester United in the cup final.

Ant, who was wearing a scarf in the team colours, appeared raring to go as he pumped his fist in the air while walking towards the stadium.

The Saturday Night Takeaway star, 47, was wearing a black varsity jacket with a pair of black jeans and a cap with black lace-up boots.

Meanwhile, Dec, also 47, was similarly dressed in a black bomber jacket with dark trousers and a khaki green baseball cap.

Annie-Marie, 46, looked opted for daytime glamour in a grey knit jumper, which she wore over a white blouse with a cream wool coat.

She wore her blonde locks in loose curls and opted for a natural pallet of make-up complete with a slick of pink lipstick.

Anne-Marie was carrying tickets in her hand as they arrived at the stadium, before the group headed to a box in the ground.

They were joined by Amanda Staveley, who is on the board of directors at the club.

Ali Astal, 44, looked equally chic in a black coat, which she wore with a leopard print scarf and a black knit bobble hat.

She wore her blonde locks in a loose bouncy style and opted for a soft pallet of make-up.

Newcastle’s players will share bonuses of £1million if they win the club’s first trophy in 48 years in the Carabao Cup final.

The squad’s bonus pool is 10 times the amount Newcastle will receive from the EFL in prize money for winning the trophy, but the club’s owners are happy to reward the players for what would be a historic achievement.

The bonuses will be split amongst Eddie Howe’s players using a complex formula involving both matches and minutes played in this season’s competition.

The manager will also receive a bonus stipulated in his contract if he succeeds in leading Newcastle to their first domestic trophy since winning the FA Cup in 1955.

The bonuses were agreed in talks between Newcastle and the players last summer in a speedier and more amicable fashion than was often the case under previous owner Mike Ashley.

The outing comes after Ant and Dec revealed a tricky celebrity on SM:TV Live that became their worst ever interviewee.

The show was one of their early programmes together which saw them do skits and challenges with Cat Deeley.

SM:TV Live, which helped catapult them to stardom, required them to get celebrities in for chats.

But not all of the big names were happy to be on the show, with Christina Aguilera their standout tough interviewee.

She refused to get involved with their highjinks live on the show like other stars did and requested that their discussion was pre-recorded.

Chatting: Dec was seen on the phone to someone

Matching: They both sported football scarves for the occassion

Speaking to Huff Post, they said: ‘She (Aguilera) sat there in her shades, and wouldn’t take them off. It was a pre-recorded interview, because she didn’t want to do it live.

‘Everything pointed towards it being a bad interview. And it turned out to be a bad interview.’

It comes after Ant and Dec admitted that they once hosted an episode of SMTV: Live after a wild night out.

The presenting duo confessed that when they presented the ITV show on the Millennium, they’d gone on air after celebrating the New Year in Newcastle.

Ant told Glamour Magazine: ‘We never drank on a Friday night! One year we did, that was the millennium.’

‘We were on air that next morning. We were in Newcastle, so we drove down through the night and went live on air, slightly worse for wear. That was the only time.’

Luckily Ant and Dec presented that very show from a bed on the set, with Cat , poking fun at the fact that most of the nation had been celebrating the previous evening.
