Sky Sports was forced to suspend broadcasts outside Stamford Bridge on deadline day after a well-known prankster walked towards the camera with a sex toy.
The stunt, which went viral on social media, came as reporter Kaveh Solhekol was providing updates on Chelsea’s potential deals before the transfer window closed.
Solhekol was discussing Jadon Sancho’s potential move from Manchester United to Chelsea when a man walked past him with the sex toy next to the reporter’s face.
He tried to block the man from appearing on camera, but another person led the prankster away, and Sky Sports returned to the studio to apologise.
YouTube prankster ‘Jarvo69’, real name Daniel Jarvis, claimed responsibility on social media, posting on X: ‘Playing a prank on two assholes live on Sky Sports news!’
