TNT Sports’ studio descended into chaos during their coverage of the Vuelta a Espana when host Orla Chennaoui joked about how she’d celebrate a stage win
TNT Sports’ studio descended into chaos as the pundits struggled to contain their laughter after the host accidentally gave an X-rated answer on air.
Orla Chennaoui, Adam Blythe and Matt Stevens were breaking down the action from Stage 17 of the Vuelta a Espana on Wednesday afternoon, following Matthew Brennan’s fifth stage win of the race, when Blythe asked Chennaoui how she would celebrate.
“I would not be taking my hands off the handlebars,” Chennaoui explained. “It would just be a big old smile.” However, Blythe was not happy with answer: “For the sake of the conversation, let’s say you are taking your hands off the bars..“

Chennaoui, who was now laughing, said: “It would probably be a good fist, like this…” However, Blythe had seemingly taken it another way: “What would your celebration be, sorry?”
All three started to awkwardly laugh as Blythe turned away from the table to try and regain his composure. Chennaoui, in between her laughter, tried to throw to Robbie McEwan.
“Sorry,” she said trying to plough as all three erupted in laughter. “I think Robbie can join us now!” However, even the Australian sprinter was laughing as he appeared on the screen.
The clip was shared on social media, with one fan, posting it on TikTok, joking: “When @TNTSportsCycling descends into inappropriate chaos!”
“OMG, I laughed about this for the rest of the race. it was so funny,” one fan replied. While a second shared: “Well done to Robbie for talking for long enough to allow Orla to recover…”
The Vuelta concludes on Sunday, with Enric Mas, Felix Gall and Primoz Roglic looked in a three-way battle for the red jersey after Tadej Pogacar crashed out in the race lead.
However, Brennan has been the breakout star of the grand tour, sprinting to five stage victories in the Spanish heat.
