BBC coverage of Liverpool’s FA Cup replay at Wolves was embarrassingly interrupted by loud pornographic noises.
Shortly after the show began, the noises began, although it was not clear where they were coming from.
The announcer cut to a pre-match interview with Jurgen Klopp, but after he returned to the studio, the noises began again.
Gary Lineker couldn’t hide his embarrassment at the porn noises coming from the studio
Lineker later tweeted that he had found the phone that had been making the porn noises.
Host Gary Lineker saw the funny side as he quipped, “Would you please stop making those noises, Danny?” directing his quip at pundit Danny Murphy.
After more than 10 minutes of noise, Lineker was relieved to turn over to the channel’s commentary team before kickoff.
Moments after the game began, Lineker tweeted to confirm that he had finally figured out where the noise was coming from.
“Well we found this taped to the back of the device,” Lineker wrote alongside an image of a mobile phone.
As for the sabotage, it was pretty funny.
Lineker and Alan Shearer joked that the noise was coming from Danny Murphy’s phone.
Fans couldn’t help but laugh at the BBC’s misfortune, with one follower joking that someone would face dismissal after the incident.
‘Someone at the BBC is running out of a job,’ they joked.
Another added: ‘BBC MOTD having a mare’, as the sounds continued.
“I screwed up someone at the BBC who’s done with the porn sound,” another fan wrote along with a series of smiley face emojis.
The pornographic noises in the studio were just the start of a nightmarish night at Molineux, as there was also a power cut in the early stages of the game, meaning VAR was not used for the first 16 minutes.
A fan made fun of how bad things had gone before and during the match.
‘Porn on the BBC. Shearer saying it was Danny Murphy’s phone. A power cut in Molineux. The VAR was broken due to the power outage.
‘The magic of the cup’, they joked.
