BBC Breakfast: Viewers HORRIFIED as sex noises drown out live broadcast
BBC Breakfast viewers would have choked on their cornflakes this morning as extremely loud sex noises were played over a live broadcast.

Political correspondent Emma Vardy was outside Westminster completing a piece to camera on Brexit when the gaffe occurred.
As she spoke about Theresa May, viewers became distracted when an orgasm noise was played, drowning her voice out.
Ever the professional, Emma continued her report and managed to keep a straight face despite the sound going on for almost a minute.
When she finished, BBC Breakfast presenters Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt didn’t address the major blunder.

One person asked: “What’s with the porn sound effects during that report? @BBCBreakfast.”
“Someone kept playing one of those videos that has sex noises on bbc breakfast while a reporter was doing a piece to camera, good job keeping a straight face #bbc #bbcbreakfast #bbcnews,” said another.
A third commonted: “Ok anybody else just hear loud orgasm on @BBCBreakfast.”
“Hmm not sure that sounds like the news! @BBCBreakfast #bbc #breakfast #news,” wrote one viewer.
“How funny @BBCBreakfast totally ignoring the continuous sex noises being played. Awkward,” stated a fan.
Responding to the messages on social media, a BBC Breakfast employee said: “Hi Chris, someone nearby was playing music whilst we were live! So that's what you could hear.”
