Match of the Day prankster Dan Jarvis who tricked Gary Lineker with porn noise reveals how he did it

SEX noise prankster Daniel “Jarvo” Jarvis told how he beat security by marching into a football stadium with TV crew — and even helped himself to beers in a hospitality box.

He and a pal later activated a £20 phone — one of the world’s loudest — to pump moans around the live Match of the Day studio.

The stunt had BBC host Gary Lineker in stitches and stunned millions watching Tuesday’s Wolves v Liverpool FA Cup replay.

YouTuber Jarvo, 30, wore black jeans and coat to blend in as he and the pal followed a TV crew into Wolves’s Molineux stadium a day before kick-off, nodding at security who let them pass unchecked.

The pair used double-sided tape to stick the gold Yepen mobile to a 7ft wall on set, and changed the ringtone to the raunchy soundtrack.

Jarvo told The Sun: “These things are all about confidence.
“We got in because we made it look like we were meant to be there, so no one bats an eyelid.

“If you hesitate, then you’ll get asked questions. But people from Wolves thought we were with the TV, and vice versa.

“TV crews don’t dress particularly smartly so I fitted right in. There were about four staff working in the studio. We tried not to speak to them much, just saying ‘How are you?’

“Our plan was to strap it under a chair or the table, but they might’ve got suspicious if we started moving stuff around.

“So we strapped it to the top of the wall and because of the colour no one could see it. We had a cheers with the beers afterwards then it was a waiting game, hoping no one had found the phone.”

A YouTube video posted during Tuesday’s match showed Jarvo call the phone to trigger the X-rated noise.

He added: “I was at my cousin’s and couldn’t believe it worked. It was hilarious. We’ve tried this before and it didn’t work. But this must’ve been the magic of the FA Cup.”

Jarvo and his mate spent 90 minutes inside Molineux. They filmed a jokey interview in the mix zone and posed in the dugouts.

Jarvo, known as Jarvo69 online, added: “Staff didn’t say anything. I was tempted to jump in the home changing room ice bath but didn’t have a towel. I also used the toilet in the away dressing room, which is terrible — it’s like a PE changing room from the ’90s. After we planted the phone, we had a beer and got out.”

Jarvo rang the phone at 1am on Tuesday to check it had not been found. He then buzzed it around 12 times from a burner device after the BBC went live at 7.30pm.

The noise drowned out Lineker as he cut to the commentary team.

He could barely be heard saying: “It is toasty in this studio. I am not sure if someone is sending something on somebody’s phone.”

Jarvo streamed his calls, cracking up with laughter while ringing his mate who was inside Molineux recording the studio reaction.

It showed pundit Paul Ince pointing to the noise’s source, while crew searched for it to no avail.

Jarvo, of Gravesend, Kent, said: “There is a short delay with the TV so I was worried it didn’t work, but the camera went back to Lineker at the perfect time.

“Those situations are so funny because no one has been in it before. You could see they were panicking but Lineker is such a pro and handled it really well. Everyone seems to have loved it. I feel like we’ve cheered up the nation a bit at a bad time.”

Jarvo tried to prank BT Sport’s coverage of Fulham v Tottenham in 2021 but was let down by that phone’s sound quality.

The incident also sparked a police alert.

This time he bought five phones after searching for the world’s loudest mobiles.

Man Utd fan Jarvo said: “This Yepen worked a treat. We’ve still got a few so TV and the Premier League better watch out!”

Police have said it was not a criminal offence.

The BBC apologised to viewers who may have been offended but Lineker said the corporation had nothing to say sorry for.

He shared a picture of the phone after it was discovered and said: “As sabotage goes, it was quite amusing.”

Liverpool won 1-0 and Lineker said at half-time: “Harvey Elliott’s goal was a screamer . . . which was not the only one we’ve had tonight.”

Yesterday talkSPORT pundit Ally McCoist joked he’d never heard such a noise in his life, adding: “I’ve been doing it wrong for 40 years!”

Jarvo added: “This prank will go down in history. I’ve always got things planned. I can’t tell you what’s next.”
