The BBC has apologised after pornographic noises had been performed on air through the broadcaster’s reside protection of an FA Cup match, apparently through a cell phone {that a} prankster had hidden within the studio.

The noises interrupted the protection introduced by former England striker Gary Lineker earlier than the match between Wolverhampton and Liverpool at Molineux Stadium on Tuesday.

Lineker later posted on Twitter an image of a cellular phone that he stated was “taped to the back of the set” inside the stadium.

“As sabotage goes it was quite amusing,” Lineker stated.

The BBC gave the impression to be much less amused, and issued a press release saying: “We apologise to any viewers offended during the live coverage of the football this evening.”

A self-ascribed YouTube prankster, who calls himself “Jarvo,” tweeted that he was behind the stunt, and posted a video exhibiting him calling the telephone to activate the sounds.

Jarvo, whose actual title is Daniel Jarvis, was banned in October from all sporting occasions in England and Wales for 2 years after operating onto the pitch throughout a cricket Test match between England and India in September 2021 and barging into England batter Jonny Bairstow.
