A social media star who was behind the infamous BBC Match of the Day ‘sex noises’ prank has been jailed over a pitch stunt at the home of Engish rugby.
Jarvo69, real name Daniel Jarvis, has been sentenced to 15 months behind bars after appearing at Kingston Crown Court on April 27. It has now adjourned to May 10 for consideration of a Criminal Behaviour Order, arising from an offence of possession of articles for use in fraud.
The prankster had managed to make his way onto the pitch in March 2022 during England’s Six Nations clash with Ireland. During the English national anthem, he made his way to the end of the line.

However, before the camera could reach Jarvo, he was tackled by a security guard. And he has now been found guilty of using a false or borrowed ID to gain entry is an offence under Section 2 of the Fraud Act 2006,
The CPS said in a statement: “The defendant appeared at Kingston Crown Court on April 27, where he was sentenced to 15 months’ imprisonment. The matter was adjourned to May 10 for consideration of a Criminal Behaviour Order, arising from an offence of possession of articles for use in fraud.”
Sharing the news on Jarvo’s X account, a friend disagreed with the ruling, saying the ID “shouldn’t of been taken into the venue and was merely a prop for the intro of the video.”
He is known for stunts including when he disrupted Sky Sports’ transfer deadline day broadcast with a sex toy and infiltrated the closing ceremony at the Paris Olympic Games with Team GB.
He infamously broadcast ‘sex noises’ during the BBC’s live coverage of an FA Cup match between Liverpool and Wolves – leaving Gary Lineker and co in stitches – and similarly disrupted the Euro 2024 draw.
Meanwhile his behaviour during a Test cricket match between England and India at the Oval in 2022 resulted in him being convicted of aggravated trespass, after he invaded the pitch dressed in Indian cricket whites and crashed into England player Jonny Bairstow, earning himself a suspended prison sentence.
Last month, he was arrested over the incident at Everton’s new stadium and later charged with obstructing/disrupting a person engaged in a lawful activity at an event on Saturday, November 1 last year.
Jarvis appeared at South Sefton Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday, April 21, when he was issued with a five-year Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO); given a 10-week prison sentence, suspended for 12 months; and ordered to complete 110 hours unpaid work and a 10-day rehabilitation order.
He was also ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £150 and £500 costs. Six days later he was jailed for the Twickenham incident at Kingston Crown Court.
The terms of the CBO mean he’s banned from disrupting any sporting event and from entering any playing pitch, playing/competitive area, racetrack, racecourse, or other sporting area to which spectators or general members of the public are not permitted access in England, Wales or Northern Ireland.
