Gary Lineker was caught offguard during BBC’s coverage of the FA Cup Third Round Replays on Tuesday.
Just before Lineker went to Alan Shearer in the field, a series of quite loud moans played in the background behind an amused Lineker.

Lineker then tweeted out the culprit: a phone taped to the back of the set.

The culprit quickly revealed themselves: a British YouTube account posted a video of them calling the phone.
