Television presenters Ant and Dec have made their feelings about Newcastle United director of football Joe Kinnear known by telling him to "shut up".

The Britain's Got Talent presenters, who are well-known Magpies supporters, are the latest fans to express their discontent towards the 66-year-old, who has been given a three-year contract at St James' Park.

One half of the duo, Ant, wrote on Twitter: "Joe Kinnear please just shut up! #enoughalready".

Kinnear has since apologised to the fans for blasting the criticism that he received.
