VIEWERS joked that they were left “feeling sick” after TNT Sports unveiled a groundbreaking new camera today to a mixed reaction.
The broadcaster was at Molineux to provide coverage of the Premier League showdown between Wolves and Tottenham.
TNT Sports decided to introduce a new feature as part of the show before the big kick-off.
And that was a bodycam being attached to Spurs star Brennan Johnson and Wolves’ Max Kilman throughout the warm-ups.
During the pre-game build-up, shaky clips were shown from the cam as the former Nottingham Forest forward and the defender got ready for action with their team-mates in a number of ball and fitness drills.
The broadcaster confirmed before the game: “TNT Sports and the @PremierLeague have partnered on a new innovation that will be trialled for Wolves vs Tottenham.

Another viewer commented: “‘Pre match body cam’ is a football broadcast innovation that no one asked for or needed.”
