Prankster Disrupts BBC's FA Cup Coverage with Sex Noises
Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker has laughed off the moment sex noises transmitted by a YouTube prankster disrupted the show's live coverage. Noises from a porn clip were heard as Lineker presented pre-match build-up before the Wolves v Liverpool fixture. A frenzied studio hunt uncovered a planted mobile phone - and YouTube prankster Daniel Jarvis claimed he was behind the stunt on Tuesday's show. The BBC apologised to any viewers who were offended. But Lineker, who later tweeted a picture of the mobile phone he said was "taped to the back of the set", said he thought there was nothing to apologise for. Calling it a "good prank", he said: "As sabotage goes it was quite amusing." The prank played out as Lineker presented the programme in a studio at Wolverhampton's Molineux Stadium alongside pundits Paul Ince and Danny Murphy. Speaking on BBC Two's Newsnight later on Tuesday, Lineker explained that he initially thought a video had been sent to one of the pundits' phones that they had inadvertently left switched on. But it was "too loud", he said, and he noticed that every time the producers cut away from the studio to show a video clip, the noises immediately stopped. So he reasoned that it must be someone watching on TV who was triggering them remotely. Asked by Newsnight how loud the sound effect was in the studio, the broadcaster said he was unable to hear what any of the producers were telling him in his earphones, making it "quite difficult" to carry on with the pre-match build-up. At one stage he had to explain what he thought was going on to viewers and said "Somebody's sending something on someone's phone, I think. |

Re: Prankster Disrupts BBC's FA Cup Coverage with Sex Noises
Remember when these videos were doing the rounds a few years ago? Innocent video for a few seconds and then these exact sex sounds would start playing. Not great when say in the pub on a Friday afternoon.
