ITV’S coverage of Euro 2024 was interrupted by loud sirens, forcing their pundits to turn away from the camera.
Ian Wright, Graeme Souness and Roy Keane were all on duty for Friday’s clash between Germany and Scotland.
The hosts opened the tournament with a 5-1 win at the Allianz Arena.
And the Scots were left to lick their wounds as a dismal performance was analysed by ITV’s team of experts.

Breaking from tradition, ITV chiefs opted for an outdoor studio in the heart of the city.
The decision was always bound to come with certain risks that don’t arise with an indoor setting.
But on the very first night of the Euros, ITV’s coverage was disturbed as blaring sirens went off right by the outdoor studio.
As Wright, Souness and Keane delivered their thoughts on Scotland’s defeat, the sharp loud noise almost brought talk to a halt.
The flow of conversation started quickly again, but fans found it difficult to hear what was being said as several more sirens went past.

And at one point, Arsenal icon Wright turned away from the camera to look over the balcony and see what was going on.
Viewers at home were certainly distracted by the surprising turn of events.
One said: “Can’t hear the pundits for the sirens on the Germany v Scotland end of match analysis.”
Another declared: “This open air studio for ITV isn’t really working with all the sirens.”

Another added: “Those sirens are incredibly loud on ITV’s coverage.”
