A banner has been hung above the A1 Motorway which told a man he was being dumped by "both" of his girlfriends.

The huge poster was attached to the bridge over the northbound carriageway in Gateshead near the Angel of the North, where thousands of commuters would have been travelling.

Along with the pictures of two women the sign read: "Steve Frazer you're dumped by both your girlfriends."

Newsbeat has spoken to one of the women who didn't want to be named.

She said the story had snowballed. "We didn't expect this much media attention," she said.

Newsbeat has been unable to reach Steve Frazer.

The banner was removed after an hour.
