The BBC was left red-faced after accidentally capturing a female fan with her breasts exposed during Argentina's World Cup final win over France in 2022. The incident occurred as pundits Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer, Rio Ferdinand and Pablo Zabaleta discussed the penalty shootout in the studio.
Cameras panned over the crowd when the broadcaster inadvertently caught a supporter who had removed her top. Several viewers pointed out the blunder on social media, with one remarking: "She'll get a yellow card for that." Another added: "Fortunately, it was the last game. She must be in jail now," alluding to Qatar's strict laws.
The cameras quickly cut away from the crowd once the error was spotted. The fan was positioned at the front of the spectators, with a banner held beneath her. The broadcaster panned to other emotional scenes after Argentina beat France in a tense shootout.
England supporters will be hoping their semi-final clash with Argentina does not replicate the drama of the 2022 final, as they aim to reach their first World Cup final since 1966.
