Sky Sports forced to cut away after female punter flashes knickers and makes X-rated comment on live TV
SKY SPORTS were forced to cut away after a female punter at Lingfield made an X-rated comment live on air.
Mick Fitzgerald was presenting live from the racecourse when he was interrupted by an overexuberant fan.
He was joined by a female punter for what was initially a bit of harmless fun as she draped her arm around the former jockey.
Fitzgerald took it in good jest and joked: “I think it’s going to be a long night for this one.”
The punter continued her fun by flashing her knickers before again going up to Fitzgerald to poke out her tongue.
The Irishman attempted to laugh off her antics before she let slip her X-rated comment, saying: “I’m so wet.”
Sky Sports quickly returned to Martin Kelly in the studio who had a look of disbelief on his face.
It comes after fans blasted the TV channel for their “abomination” new-look Soccer Saturday.
Viewers are also unhappy with the absence of Jeff Stelling as the Sky Sports programme began without the Hartlepudlian for the first time in 25 years.
Simon Thomas began presenting the show on Saturday as the first weekend of the 2023/24 EFL season continued.
And Sky Sports have also debuted a new style of set-up in the studio with the desks, layout and graphics slightly altered.
But some were outraged by Sky’s changes – with many comparing it to a gameshow.
