GEORDIE heart-throb Declan Donnelly has revealed that he is desperate to return to Newcastle and meet a local girl.
The co-host of Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway was reported as saying: "I am still single, but I would love to go back to the North-East and meet a Newcastle girl."
The 29-year-old, who recently separated from long-time girlfriend Claire Buckfield, said: "Because of work, I mainly live in London, but I try to get home at least every two or three weeks.
"I find the more I go back up there, the more I miss it.
"Everybody is great and it is more relaxed than London.
"People come up to us and say, 'Thanks lads, you're giving the North-East a good name'.
"That makes me feel really proud, like we've done a really good job."
