point for fans on social media after ‘sexual noise’ was heard when former
England footballer Gary Lineker was presenting the third-round replay
between the two teams in the country’s oldest football competition.It was
later found out that the noise was coming from a mobile phone that Linekar
said was “taped to the back of the set”. The network has now issued an
apology while also launching an investigation into the incident.Lineker tried to laugh off the incident as the sexual sounds emerged when
he was presenting the program in a studio at Wolverhampton’s Molineux
Stadium alongside fellow pundits Paul Ince and Danny Murphy. He then cut to
former England striker Alan Shearer who said: “Somebody’s sending something
on someone’s phone, I think. I don’t know whether you heard it at home.”
