Gareth Southgate has spoken out after the Euro 2024 draw was sabotaged by a porn prankster. The live broadcast was disrupted on Saturday afternoon when sex noises started playing out loud from the audience.
David Silva, who was drawing a name out of the pot, when the noises started playing, attempted to keep a straight face as he plucked out Switzerland to join Germany and Hungary in Group A. “There is some noise here…” the draw’s host said during a pause in the broadcast, but once it cleared up he added: “No noise anymore…”
Practical joker Jarvo69, real name Daniel Jarvis, who was responsible for the Match of the Day prank less than a year ago, claims he was behind the gaff.
Jarvis uploaded a video on X of him seeming to activate a device in the venue of the draw over in Hamburg. Speaking in the video Jarvis said: “We are live, here we are in Germany, Hamburg, where we are doing a prank live on the Euro 2024 draw. Sorry man I am so f***ing pumped, and I’m just excited for it.”
However, Southgate didn’t take much notice of the crude joke. “Yeah… I heard something and putting two and two together I’m assuming there’s some sort of prank going on but I couldn’t really make out what it was,” he said.
