Fans left in stitches at Clive Tyldesley's explanation of who Ant and Dec are during CBS Carabao Cup coverage

Ant and Dec both made the trip to Wembley to watch Newcastle take on Liverpool.

Commentator Clive Tyldesley's explanation of Ant and Dec to viewers on CBS Sports' Carabao Cup final coverage has left fans in stitches.

Tyldesley was on commentary duty alongside former England goalkeeper Rob Green for CBS' coverage of Liverpool versus Newcastle, broadcast to viewers in the United States.

During the first half, the world feed cut to Newcastle fans Ant and Dec - full names Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly - in a part of the hospitality section at Wembley.

The pair are, of course, major stars in the UK, presenting shows such as Britain's Got Talent, Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway and I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

They have been on screens for over 25 years, starting out on children's TV shows before earning their mainstream break by starring in Byker Grove.

Their ventures into American television were not as well-received, with quiz show 'Wanna Bet?' cancelled after just six episodes.

Ant and Dec have, however, hosted America's Got Talent and their other shows are shown in the States, meaning the majority of the US audience watching the Carabao Cup final will probably have at least a basic knowledge of them.

Tyldesley, though, couldn't be certain of that - and his explanation of who the pair are is one for the ages.

"You may not be familiar with Anthony McPartlin," he began. "But him, and there's Declan too, are television royalty in the UK.

"Are Ant and Dec big in America? I'm not sure. They're not big anywhere actually, they're both about 5ft 6... They're friends of mine, I can say that!"

Green chimed in: "They're not the Clive and Rob Show, that's for sure."

The Newcastle fans got to watch their side enter into a 2-0 lead during the second half, with goals either side of the interval at Wembley.

Dan Burn powered in a header just before half-time, with Alexander Isak seeing a goal later disallowed on 51 minutes after Bruno Guimaraes was in an offside position.

But Eddie Howe's side netted a second goal against a below-par Liverpool side just a minute later, with Isak this time getting his name on the scoresheet.

Federico Chiesa scored what proved to be a consolation in stoppage time for the Reds, as Newcastle held on for their first trophy since the 1969 Fairs Cup.
