Answer: Newcastle-Upon-Tyne

My introduction to this quiz might have been a tiny hint. In the UK, 'Geordies' are the citizen of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Dec's parents were migrants from Northern Ireland who moved to Newcastle in 1958, long before Dec was born.
4. On the set of which television teen drama did Ant and Dec first meet?
