Porn prank on BBC
Loud moaning noises of sexual variety could be heard at full volume constantly throughout the broadcast as host Gary Lineker and football pundits Paul Ince and Danny Murphy were trying their best to act professional and discuss the match ahead of its kick-off.
Initially it was very confusion filled because it was hard to figure out where the noises were coming from. Lineker and others were trying their best to continue with their pre-match analysis with straight faces.
They faced a lot of awkward pauses because the background noises continued on a loop and espite trying to make the situation light, it would get super awkward.
The noises continued full-fledged as Lineker made attempts to draw the attention of the viewers away from their end and tried chatting with co-commentator in the stadium gantry.
He said that somebody was sending something on someone’s phone, and that he wasn’t sure if his co-commentator Alan Shearer heard it too or not.
