An infamous pornographic sound was heard during the BBC's pre-game coverage and has obviously, resulted in an apology.
At Molineux, Gary Lineker's pre-game conversation with Alan Shearer, as well as that of pundits Paul Ince and Danny Murphy, was rudely interrupted by the sound of a woman moaning. It caught many people off guard as they viewed a WhatsApp video that was sent by a friend.
The prank, which occurred during the BBC's live coverage of a FA Cup match between Wolves and Liverpool, was claimed to have been carried out by Daniel Jarvis, a YouTube prankster. Jarvis was found guilty of aggravated trespass in October of last year and given a suspended sentence after posting a video on Twitter that appeared to show him at Molineux Stadium.

Additionally, the BBC later offered an apology. A statement read, "We apologize to any viewers who were offended during the live football coverage this evening."
And Murphy expressed later what he was going through during that experience - “That was one of the most bizarre experiences I’ve ever had. It was a weird one! I spent the in-between bits of talking thinking about people I despise, which is quite easy, I was just trying to think of people I really don’t like and things I don’t like to stop myself from laughing!
Initially, because it was so loud in the studio it was obviously very off-putting, we thought that maybe it was coming out of the tannoy as there was a speaker just outside the studio, and we thought the whole stadium was hearing it. But then we realized it was just us, so we were thinking, ‘Someone’s got us, here’.
And then every time it came back to the studio to speak, it started again! The problem was I couldn’t really hear what Gary was saying, he couldn’t hear what I was saying, Incey couldn’t hear anything either, so we could have said anything!”
