YouTuber BMWJarvo revealed himself as the mastermind behind the historic BBC sex noise prank the other night, and has now explained exactly how he pulled off.
30-year-old Jarvo, real name Daniel Jarvis, told The Sun that he simply followed a TV crew into Wolves’s Molineux stadium a day before the Wolves-Liverpool game was set to kick off:
“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.”
It was that easy! Here’s how it played out live from Jarvo’s pespective:
On the moment he realised he had pulled it off:
“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.
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.”
Fair play – it was pretty hilarious even though it’s such a juvenile prank. The unexpectedness of it coupled with Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer’s reaction plus the effort they put in to make it happen makes it go down as one of the all-time live TV pranks. Well played, Jarvo and gang. Can’t wait to see what they’ve got cooking next.
