The World Indoor Bowls Championship was interrupted by a sex noises prank while live on the BBC. <br /><br />Harry Goodwin was facing Stewart Anderson in the first singles semi-final match when the porn noises were heard on a loudspeaker. <br /><br />The crowd saw the funny side of it as they broke down in laughter while the BBC commentator played it down as a 'sound issue'. <br /><br />He said: 'Well, we have a problem somewhere but hopefully it will get sorted out quickly. Sounds like a sound issue, excuse the punt.'<br /><br />Goodwin could not keep a straight face as he smirked almost immediately and looked around to see where the noise was coming from. <br /><br />The 'sex noise' prank has taken place on several occasions over the past years, most notably during a live broadcast of an FA Cup match last year. <br /><br />During the BBC's coverage of Wolves vs Liverpool in January 2023, Gary Lineker and pundits were embarrassed as the noise disrupted them in the studio for over 10 minutes. <br /><br />Youtuber Daniel Jarvis, from Gravesend, Kent, then claimed responsibility for the porn noises though it was not known how he got access. <br /><br />The same prankster got up to his tricks once again last month when sex noises interrupted the draw for Euro 2024. <br /><br />Former Manchester City star David Silva, and much of the audience, were left stunned after the sounds began to play, with everyone seemingly powerless to stop them.<br /><br />And in November 2017, BBC's Political correspondent at the time Emma Vardy was interrupted by the racy audio as she reported live on Brexit. <br /><br />It led to suggestions that the BreX-rated noises beamed to television screens across the nation could have been caused by a pair of 'moaners'.
