Ant and Dec once tried to buy Byker Grove

Ant and Dec once tried to buy the 'Byker Grove' youth club building but had their bid rejected.

The duo, who won two awards for 'Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway' at the British Academy Television Awards last night, first shot to fame on the BBC children's drama series filmed in Newcastle and wanted to help others wanting to get into the industry by buying the 13th Century Benwell Tower and using it to hold workshops for young people.
