The BBC has apologized after its coverage of an FA Cup soccer match was interrupted by the sounds of a pornographic video being played loudly while the presenters were live.
Gary Lineker, the presenter, later said in a tweet that the noises came from a hidden mobile phone which was "attached to the back" of the studio.
Well, we found this taped to the back of the set. Nor sabotage goes it was quite amusing. ??? pic.twitter.com/ikUhBJ38Je

The presenter seemed momentarily taken aback by the joke and tried not to give in, but it was impossible for the audience to contain their laughter.
A BBC spokesman tweeted: “We apologize to any viewers offended during the live broadcast of the match this evening. We are investigating how this happened."
Daniel Jarvis, a YouTuber who does various pranks, claimed he was behind the phone.
