The BBC issued an official statement which read: "We apologise to any viewers offended during the live coverage of the football this evening.

Asked by Newsnight how loud the sound effect was in the studio, the broadcaster said he was unable to hear what any of the producers were telling him in his earphones, making it "quite difficult" to carry on with the pre-match build-up. But it was "too loud", he said, and he noticed that every time the producers cut away from the studio to show a video clip, the noises immediately stopped. But Lineker, who later tweeted a picture of the mobile phone he said was "taped to the back of the set", said he thought there was nothing to apologise for. Calling it a "good prank", he said: "As sabotage goes it was quite amusing."
