‘Why is no one laughing?’ – Jill Scott clocks Ian Wright ‘made sexual innuendo’ during FA Cup draw live on ITV
JILL SCOTT was left in stitches after spotting Ian Wright’s sexual innuendo live on TV.
Wright was on FA Cup draw duty after Manchester United beat Liverpool to reach the semi-final.
The draw took on a different format than usual with Wright drawing each of the four balls out of a bag by himself.
That caused controversy with some fans claiming the draw might have been fixed – with Gary Neville also suggesting it “didn’t feel right”.
Wright added to the chaos by exaggerating the fact he was not looking at the bag as he picked out the balls, leading to a joke that Scott found hilarious.
Neville said on the Stick to Football podcast: “That didn’t feel right at the end, when you pulled out like a Marks & Spencer’s bag?”
Scott then interjected, adding: “It was when he said, did you hear him say ‘I need to shake the ballbag’.
“I was like ‘why is no one laughing?'”
Fans were left perplexed as they were not told which ball number corresponded to what team.
Wright acknowledged the confusion before explaining why he made such an effort to look away during what he labelled a “great draw”.

He said: “Before the ex-Gunners man replied: “Do you know how many people got crazy over that?
“It’s only four balls in. I think people were a little bit upset about the fact that we didn’t know who was one, two, three and four.
“But the main thing is they’re so stringent on ‘Don’t look in the bag, make sure the bag is tight before you open it so you’re not looking’.
“In the end people say ‘What is he doing the Stevie Wonder for?’ I wasn’t doing Stevie Wonder. I was just making sure I wasn’t looking in like this [moves his head away] and it looked like Stevie Wonder.
“But I didn’t want people to say ‘Ah, that draw was wrong’.
“Still people slaughtered you, but I thought it was a great draw.”
