As Harry Goodwin lined up his shot during the World Indoor Bowls Championship, the atmosphere was tense and focused. However, the quiet was suddenly shattered by loud groans and moans, much to the surprise and amusement of the crowd. It seemed that someone had played a prank and blasted porn noises over the speakers.
The interruption occurred during the singles semi-final match between Goodwin and Stewart Anderson on a Saturday afternoon. The match was also being broadcasted live on BBC, adding to the embarrassment of the situation. As the audience chuckled at the unexpected turn of events, the commentator tried to explain the situation, mentioning a possible technical issue.
Goodwin, who was in the middle of his shot when the noises erupted, couldn't help but crack a smile. However, he was also understandably annoyed at the distraction. This was not the first time the BBC had been targeted by this prank. Last year, during an FA Cup clash between Wolves and Liverpool, even host Gary Lineker was left red-faced as the noises persistently interrupted him and his guests.
After almost 15 minutes of awkwardness, Lineker finally revealed the culprit - a small mobile phone hidden in the studio. It was later discovered that YouTuber and prankster Jarvo69 was behind the incident, as he shared a video of himself placing the device. And just last month, during the draw for the European Championships, the same prank was pulled, causing chaos and amusement as the noises played sporadically throughout the event.
It seems that the BBC has become a target for this prank, with no event being safe from the disruptive noises. In fact, the network even tried to keep a report about the previous incident secret. But with millions of viewers tuning in to watch, it's no surprise that the pranksters couldn't resist the opportunity to cause chaos and humor. Let's just hope that future events will be able to avoid such interruptions and focus on the game at hand.
