BBC Sport’s coverage of Liverpool’s FA Cup clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers was marred by a humiliating blunder when porn noises began to play loudly on air.
The embarrassing gaffe left host Gary Lineker red-faced when he was trying to bring in colleague Alan Shearer for further match analysis before the game had kicked off.
As inappropriate X-rated sounds began to ring out across the studio and through the camera into people’s lounges, a horrified Lineker calmly told viewers: “I don’t know who is making that noise but Alan Shearer is on the commentary gantry.”
Lineker then accidentally added further speculation to where the noise was coming from, saying: “It is toasty in this studio, it is noisy as well. I am not sure if someone is sending something on somebody’s phone.”
