LE SCAN SPORT – Thanks to a telephone hidden under the newscaster’s table, amazing sounds were heard live on the BBC ahead of the Wolverhampton-Liverpool game. A scene that intrigued and then amused, but the channel wants to find the culprits.
The presentation of the 32nd FA Cup final match between Wolverhampton and Liverpool on the BBC was disturbed by sounds clearly coming from a pornographic film broadcast on the set on Tuesday.
As former international striker Gary Lineker questioned two consultants, Paul Ince and Danny Murphy, about the upcoming game, female moans as loud as they were explicitly sexual arose on set.
«Can you stop making that noise, Danny?“, first launched Lineker to his interlocutor, taking the thing lightly and barely containing his hilarity.
An amusing situation but an open investigation
With the rumors continuing after a pre-match interview with Reds manager Jürgen Klopp, Lineker handed over to another former player, Alan Shearer, in the much quieter commentary booth. “Someone sends something to someone’s phone, I don’t know if you hear it at home“Lineker continued.
But a few minutes after the match started, the presenter posted on his Twitter account a photo of a mobile phone with three hilarious emojis and the caption: “Alright, we found this taped to the back of the decor. Rather funny as sabotage».
The episode caused a lot of laughs on social networks, but much less the very serious and sometimes austere BBC, which presented in a press release its “apologies if any viewers may have been offendedby the noises. “We are investigating to find out what happened“, she added.
