      Lineker, Alan Shearer, Danny Murphy and Paul Ince were all left red faced as the sex noises bellowed around the studio.
      They carried on amid chaos and confusion behind-the-scenes as staff tried to work out where it was coming from.
      It was later revealed that notorious prankster Daniel Jarvis was the man behind it after a planted phone was found in the studio.
      And he was at it again on Saturday night as he disrupted the Euro 2024 draw with the same trick.

      After football was targeted again by the man nicknamed “Jarvo69”, Lineker revealed what was going through his head at the time he fell victim.
      He told the Rest is Football podcast: “I suddenly heard it, the porn sounds and I thought has someone left the phone on?
      “Then I’m thinking is it over the main tannoy in the ground? But it was too loud.
      “I then realised it’s in the room and this is a prank as it started again after we cut back to the studio.

      “You know it’s there and you allude to it, but you’ve got to carry on.
      “I then started doing innuendos, every analysis bit at half-time, I did ‘Liverpool are really good pushing out from the back’ and various things. It was a giggle.”
      Lineker has also made jokes about it when broadcasting for the first time after the prank, saying: “Six games on the way, let’s hope we’re not rudely interrupted.
      “Jermaine Jenas and Danny Murphy here. Danny, have you turned your phone off?”
      And when the two teams met again in the Premier League, Lineker again laughed: “We’ve got Liverpool and Wolves to come up a little later and the last time things got a little steamy.
      “Please tell me you’ve turned your phones off.” More

      Those tuning in were in disbelief when a shot of the Luton bench showed Dr. Amos Ogunkoya, who appeared in the British reality TV series, sitting behind boss Rob Edwards.
      One eagle-eyed fan took to X, formerly known as Twitter, and said: “Amos from The Traitors being Luton’s Club Doctor has really made my day.

      After completing his Masters in Sports and Exercise Medicine and already holding a similar role at League Two Colchester United, this summer he qualified to become a specialist in GP.
      He then made the switch to Luton to become the youngest first-team club doctor in the Premier League.

      “I told people before the game if we kept it under six I’d be very happy. I know it sounds defeatist but you have to be realistic as well.

      The likes of Channel 4, Channel 5 and ITV decided against bidding for the rights to Match of the Day as they do not find it commercially viable.
      All three broadcasters cited falling viewing figures and a difficult advertising market as their reasons for not bidding.
      ITV and Channel 4 have both strengthened their football coverage in recent years by winning the rights to England matches.
      However, neither will be able to show the Premier League in the near future.

      ITV executives held exploratory talks with England’s top tier in recent weeks, but they concluded that taking Match of the Day on will risk disrupting their Saturday evening entertainment schedule.
      The commercial factor is also a concern as all Premier League goals are now available to view online shortly after 5:15pm each Saturday.

      Fewer matches are also set to take place on Saturdays in the next broadcast cycle from 2025 to 2029 meaning broadcasters will likely have to pay for two highlights shows – something they are reluctant to do.
      The first episode of Match of the Day was aired in 1964.

      Gary Lineker has presented the popular Saturday night show since 1999.
      The BBC’s retention of Match of the Day will trigger new contract talks with the former England striker.
      There are no guarantees he will remain with the show after a bumpy year.
      If he were to move on, bookmakers make Jermaine Jenas the favourite to become the new host at 2/1.
      Alex Scott, Micah Richards and Mark Chapman are among the other top contenders should the hotseat become vacant. More
