Prankster interrupts Sky Transfer Deadline Day coverage with sex toy live on air

Sky Sports' coverage of transfer deadline day was interrupted by a YouTube prankster outside Chelsea's Stamford Bridge stadium, leaving channel chief's red-faced

Sky Sports were forced to cut a live deadline day broadcast outside Chelsea after a well-known prankster strolled into frame with a dildo.

The clip, which has already gone viral on social media, involved Sky Sports reporter Kaveh Solhekal, who was delivering an update on some of the potential deals which could still take place before Friday night's transfer deadline.

A man was seen walking up in the background of the shot before holding out a sex toy behind the reporter, who tried to block the item from sight before Sky Sports returned to the studio.

YouTube prankster Daniel Jarvis, known online as 'Jarvo69' was the culprit and gleefully claimed credit on social media, writing: "Pranking Sky Sports news live with a pair of b******s!"

Jarvis has pulled a number of high-profile pranks in recent years and in one of his most recent exploits he managed to sneak into the closing ceremony at the Paris Olympics earlier this summer.

One of his most famous pranks occurred back in 2023 when Jarvis managed to infiltrate an episode of Match of the Day by playing out sex noises during coverage of an FA Cup tie between Wolves and Liverpool on BBC One.

The incident, which left host Gary Lineker and studio guests Paul Ince and Danny Murphy red-faced, went viral instantly as Jarvis streamed the stunt live before telling stunned viewers how he had managed to pull it off by taping a phone to the back of the studio.

Jarvis has infiltrated other events in person, including the Champions League final back in 2022 when he somehow managed to join Real Madrid's players on the pitch after their triumph.

He was, though found guilty of aggravated trespass in 2022 after running onto the pitch during the fourth Test between England and India at the Oval. He collided with England cricketer Jonny Bairstow during his attempt to bowl a ball to Ollie Pope and was subsequently handed a suspended prison sentence.
