A YOUTUBE comedian has owned up being the culprit behind ‘porn noises’ being heard during the BBC’s FA Cup coverage.
Viewers were left stunned as erotic moaning was heard while Gary Lineker attempted to host coverage of Wolves and Liverpool’s FA Cup replay.
The popular TV host struggled to keep a straight face as he spoke to pundit Alan Shearer while the strange noises continued to invade the studio.
Now an online prankster has claimed credit for the stunt.
The Youtuber Jarvo69, whose real name is Daniel Jarvis, hosted a live stream as he hijacked the BBC’s coverage.
Jarvis has a long history of big stunts during sports events, and once even invaded the stage on the X Factor in 2016.
He proudly announces at the beginning of the video: “Here we are, we have set up a phone with a loud sex noise in the BBC studios at the Wolves v Liverpool FA Cup replay.”
Jarvis watches the coverage with his phone held carefully in hand, waiting for the moment to pull off his practical joke.
Coverage begins and while Lineker discussing the game with Paul Ince and Danny Murphy, the prankster is on the phone receiving instructions on when to trigger the sex noises.
He then calls the hidden phone in the BBC studio, which appeared to have a ringtone of the sex noises uploaded onto it.
