Though Vardy simply glossed over the glitch, upholding professionalism, however, the watchers spotted the ‘unholy’ interruption and took to micro-blogging site to take sarcastic jibe at the broadcaster for offering them a lot more than merely a breakfast transmission.

Interestingly, the anchors sitting inside the studio Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt didn’t mention the awkward blunder.
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.”
But viewers replied saying the corporation had been ‘caught red handed’ and added: ‘We all know that wasn’t music.’
