The BBC apologised last night (Tuesday January 17) after ‘sex noises’ interrupted Match of the Day’s FA Cup coverage.
Host Gary Lineker and his guest pundits struggled on with their preview of Wolves against Liverpool from Molineux for ten minutes as exaggerated moans could be heard in the background.
Viewers were left bewildered by the x-rated sound effects in the pre-watershed programme which began at 7.30pm.
But while thousands were tickled by what appeared to be a prank, others were concerned about the implications of the odd TV moment.

Gary, however, styled his way through the bawdy soundtrack, at one point joking with pundit Danny Murphy: “Would you stop making those noises, Danny?”
And around 20 minutes into the show, he shared a snap on Twitter with the suspected source of the sounds.
It seems a mobile phone may have been secreted into the studio.
Well, we found this taped to the back of the set. As sabotage goes it was quite amusing. 😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/ikUhBJ38Je
