Liverpool-Wolves Soccer Broadcast Sabotaged by Inappropriate Noises Prank

The BBC’s studio coverage of a Liverpool vs. Wolves FA Cup match was taken over by a prankster, who found a way to play loud, extremely distracting sex noises from a phone as Gary Lineker, Paul Ince and Danny Murphy attempted to break down the match.

The prank lasted throughout pre-match coverage, with Lineker acknowledging the noises a few times and at one point jokingly asking Murphy to “stop making those noises.” He later theorized that the noises were being sent to the phone of someone on set.

Instead, it appears that the sabotage was a bit more involved than that.
