Gary Lineker revealed that he was the reason why the BBC cut the sound of their studio pundits celebrating England’s penalty shoot-out victory over Switzerland.
Moments after Trent Alexander-Arnold scored the decisive spot-kick to book the Three Lions’ place in the semi-finals against either Holland or Turkey, Lineker alongside Rio Ferdinand, Micah Richards and Frank Lampard gazed over footage of England fans celebrating the win.
Coverage showed supporters cheering and going wild inside the stadium and at fan events such as Boxpark in England, before footage then cut to the four ex-England internationals celebrating in their studio.
However, Richards curiously brought up how all the other clips had sound but there was no volume from when the pundits watched Alexander-Arnold score from 12 yards.
But Lineker was able to explain that the Beeb may have opted against doing so because the host “dropped some F-bombs” during the jubilant scenes.
