Geordie duo Ant and Dec returned to their home city today to unveil a new extension at Newcastle Airport.
The top TV entertainers were invited to the official opening of the £7 million redevelopment of the terminal which now boasts an internet lounge and better shopping facilities.
The extra 300 square metres of terminal will open to passengers tomorrow after today's official celebrations.
An airport spokeswoman said: ''The extension doubled the size of the departure lounge, with a floor to ceiling glazed frontage giving holidaymakers uninterrupted views of the runway.''
