London, Jan 18, The BBC on Wednesday apologised after a distorted audio from a porn video was played during the broadcast of an FA Cup (Football Association Challenge Cup) soccer match on Tuesday.<\/p>
BBC has issued a statement, saying \"We apologise to any viewers offended during the live coverage of the football this evening. We are investigating how this happened.\"<\/p>
Studio staff were initially unable to locate the source of the noise, which started shortly after the show began and played repeatedly for around 15 minutes, reports The Verge.<\/p>
Host Gary Lineker (an English former football player) speculated while on air that \"Somebody's sending something on someone's phone, I think\".<\/p>
Later, Lineker tweeted an image of a mobile phone with adhesive pads attached, saying: \"Well, we found this taped to the back of the set. As sabotage goes it was quite amusing.\"<\/p>
Furthermore, YouTuber Daniel Jarvis has claimed responsibility for the prank, posting a video on Twitter that appeared to show him outside the BBC studio at Molineux Stadium, said the report.<\/p>
\"Yes, it was me that pranked the BBC Match of the Day with the sex Phone,\" he tweeted.<\/p>
Jarvis, a member of the YouTube prankster group Trollstation, was convicted of aggravated trespass last October after colliding with England cricketer Jonny Bairstow while invading the Oval pitch in south London during a Test Match, the report mentioned.<\/p>
