Sky Sports News were forced to cut away after their live reporter was approached by a man appearing to be waving a ‘a pair of rubber testicles’ on camera.
On a busy transfer deadline day for Chelsea, Sky Sports had chief reporter Kaveh Solhekol stationed outside Stamford Bridge, giving live updates on the club’s attempts to sign Jadon Sancho and Victor Osimhen.
A man dressed in black was seen approaching Solhekol from behind, standing behind him in full view of the camera shot as he brandished the peculiar item.
Cameras quickly cut back to presenter Mike Wedderburn in the Sky studio.
Shortly after, Wedderburn issued a brief apology on behalf of the broadcaster, telling viewers: ‘We are talking Chelsea – apologies for earlier if you saw anything at Stamford Bridge that offended you. Apologies for that.’
Football fans waiting for the latest transfer news quickly identified what was in the man’s hand, leaving many in hysterics.
YouTube prankster Jarvo69 appears to have taken responsibility for the stunt, sharing footage on his social media pages.
