In what was a shocking experience for people tuning in to check out BBC’s coverage of the FA Cup third-round game between Liverpool and Wolves, the broadcast was suddenly interrupted by the loud sexual moaning of a woman.
English football icons like Paul Ince, Danny Murphy and Alan Shearer were being interviewed by Gary Lineker before the match when the incident occurred.

It was the former Barcelona player Lineker who revealed that the noises were coming from a small phone that was hidden in the studio while they were filming for the pre-match show.
Lineker put up the picture of the phone on his social media profile and captioned it with “Well, we found this taped to the back of the set. As sabotage goes it was quite amusing.”

Following this incident, BBC Sports began to heavily trend on Twitter, which made Lineker quip, “Nothing to moan about, I guess.” in a follow-up post:
Before the actual source of the noise was revealed, Shearer wondered whether it was Danny Murphy’s phone that was responsible for the noise. He said, “The floodlights going off, Danny Murphy’s phone going off in the studio; what else can happen?”

An entertaining game ended 2-2 at Anfield on Jan. 7 and was tinged with controversy with Wolves having a late goal disallowed because of an offside not picked up by VAR cameras. Liverpool’s only game since then was a 3-0 loss at Brighton in the league on Saturday, a low point in the team’s season.
