Yet, Lineker, who left his long-standing role at the BBC last year, saw the funny side as he tweeted a picture of the viral incident and joked: "Nothing to moan about, I guess."He made light of the incident several more times, including during the half-time segment and after the final whistle, saying: "Harvey Elliott's goal was a screamer... which was not the only one we've had tonight."When interviewed by Newsnight after the match, Lineker adopted a light-hearted stance on the incident and questioned the need to apologise. He said: "If you had told me this morning that tonight I would be on Newsnight talking about a porn scandal, I would have been terrified."But thankfully it was just something that happened in the studio.



When it started, I did recognise that sound, I think we've all been done with that. I have to say, I think it's funny."The BBC have issued some sort of apology - I know not why.

Lineker said: "I was interviewing Alan when it was actually going on," as Shearer added: "Yeah, I was on the co-coms [co-commentary]. I could hear it and there was a part of me thinking it was my phone!"Lineker then interjected: "It's the porn he was listening to the night before!" Shearer admitted he had been pranked by the moaning noise before and was originally left stunned, believing his phone had played the audio out loud by accident.He continued: "I'd been tricked by people sending me that video so many times and I'm thinking, 'Has it gone off on my phone, in my pocket?' I tried to be professional and ignore it; I only started laughing when you [Lineker] started laughing!"Later revealed to be behind the stunt was notorious prankster Dan Jarvis, known as Jarvo69 or BMWJarvo, who had simply walked into Molineux unchallenged by security to hide the phone.
