UK state broadcaster BBC apologised on 17 January 2023 after pornographic noises were heard during live coverage of an FA Cup match.

The noises interrupted the show presented by former England footballer Gary Lineker. He later said that the sounds came from a phone "taped to the back of the set". BBC apologised to any viewers "offended" during the live broadcast.

A self-ascribed YouTube prankster named Daniel Jarvis aka Jarvo claimed responsibility. 

Jarvo was banned in October from all sporting events in England and Wales for two years after running onto the pitch during a cricket test match between England and India in September 2021 and barging into England batter Jonny Bairstow.
