A YouTube prankster has come forward and claimed he was responsible for an infamous porn noise being played out during BBC’s live FA Cup coverage on Tuesday evening.
Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker was left helpless after sex noises could be heard from the BBC studio ahead of Wolves and Liverpool’s third-round FA Cup replay.
Lineker later took to Twitter to post a photo of an old-school phone, which appeared to be the device from which the pornographic noise was played from.

“Well, we found this taped to the back of the set. As sabotage goes it was quite amusing,” he tweeted to his followers.
Fans were left startled by what they had heard during the pre-match coverage, with footage instantly going viral on social media.
However, YouTuber Jarvo69 is now accepting that he was responsible for the sex phone prank that left the BBC pundits red-faced.
