The BBC apologized for the fact that due to pornographic noise, the broadcast of the FA Cup was interrupted live.
There were loud groans as Gary Lineker introduced the third round replay between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Liverpool on Tuesday (January 17).
Confirming that it was a “funny” joke, Lineker he later shared a cell phone photo that he said was “taped to the back of the TV.”
“We apologize to any viewers who were offended during the live coverage of tonight’s football match,” the BBC said in a statement.
Lineker laughed off the joke as he presented pre-match coverage in the studio at Wolverhampton’s Molineux Stadium alongside pundits Paul Ince and Danny Murphy.
“I think someone is sending something to someone’s phone. I don’t know if you’ve heard it at home,” he said, before handing over to former England striker Alan Shearer on the bridge for comment.
When the match started, Lineker shared a cell phone photo with three laughing emoticons. “Well, we found this taped to the back of the TV,” he wrote. “As far as sabotage goes, it was pretty funny.”
Later on Tuesday, Lineker appeared on the BBC’s Newsnight program and explained that he initially thought the video had been sent to the phone of one of the pundits. However, he soon realized that it was a joke.
When asked how loud the sound was in the studio, Lineker said he couldn’t hear what anyone was saying in his ear, which “made it quite difficult” to continue reporting.
However, the presenter still saw the funny side of the joke and asked why the BBC should apologise.
“We definitely have nothing [to apologize about],” he said. “If you had told me this morning that I would be on Newsnight tonight talking about a porn scandal, I would have been horrified,” he added, laughing.
Youtube prankster Daniel Jarvis took responsibility for the prank, sharing a video on Twitter that apparently shows him at Molineux.
Jarvis is currently serving a two-year ban from all gyms after receiving a suspended sentence last October. The prankster was found guilty of aggravated assault for entering the Oval cricket stadium and colliding with England cricketer Jonny Bairstow.
In other news, Wrexham AFC co-owner Rob McElhenny had to learn of his side’s shock win over Coventry City in the FA Cup via social media after the US television failed.
