And fans just couldn't focus on the action as they were left tearing their hair out.
Taking to X, one fumed: "The Sky commentary is a fraction of a second ahead of the footage and it is driving me berserk."

Georgia Love replaces her ex Lee Elliott with a new man as she displays new home setup… amid his romance rumours with Carrie Bickmore
Georgia Love has been leaning on her nearest and dearest for support following her recent split from her husband Lee Elliott. And on Sunday, the 35-year-old revealed she has even replaced a photo of herself and Lee in her home with a picture of her male best friend. The Bachelorette star took to her Instagram on Sunday to reveal her new home setup, which included a photo with her friend Abir Ahmed. The image, taken at her real-life bachelorette party back in 2021, showed the pair smiling for the camera in a warm embrace. She also has a candle with the quote 'love is all you need' and a mug with the words 'wait for it' on the desk alongside a large plant. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. It comes after Georgia's ex Lee sparked rumours he has been enjoying a romance with Carrie Bickmore. According to Woman's Day, the radio host and the former Bachelorette star have been spending a lot of time together at Carrie's home in recent weeks. The publication claims the pair were introduced by mutual friends and the relationship is 'heating up quickly'. 'They've been trying hard to keep things under wraps. But there's definitely something romantic going on. They're a beautiful couple!' a source told the magazine. Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Carrie Bickmore and Lee Elliott for comment. Lee and Georgia, who first met on the 2016 season of The Bachelorette, announced their separation with identical posts to Instagram in May. 'After nine wonderful years together, including four as husband and wife, [we] have made the incredibly difficult decision to lovingly part ways,' they wrote. 'Our relationship has been so special and we will always cherish the memories, love, and laughter we've shared. 'There is no drama, no bad blood. Just two people who have grown in different directions while still holding deep respect and care for each other. 'We remain friends and we'd really appreciate our privacy as we navigate this next stage. Thank you.' Georgia and Lee had fuelled rumours they had split for some time, after having not been seen together for four months and ditching their wedding rings. Carrie, meanwhile, has long been linked to her Carrie & Tommy radio show co-star, Tommy Little. While they have never confirmed that they are a couple, fans continue to speculate about the true nature of their relationship.

Randall backing England to blossom further after summer tour triumph
The Bristol Bears scrum-half, 27, was one of six try-scorers in Washington DC as Steve Borthwick's side completed a transatlantic clean sweep of victories after an impressive 2-0 win in Argentina. Fellow Bear Gabriel Oghre also capped a memorable international debut when he dotted down for England's final try after coming on in the second half. The match in the American capital kicked off an hour later than planned due to a lightning strike in the area, with the game then halted by a further half an hour on 29 minutes when another struck within 10 miles of the ground when England were 14-0 up. But Borthwick's side, missing several key players on the British & Irish Lions Tour to Australia, kept their composure to extend their resurgent run that has now seen them rack up seven wins on the spin – their longest streak since back in 2020. Randall has loved life in the camp over the last few weeks and is relishing the prospect of returning ahead of crunch autumn internationals against the likes of Australia and New Zealand. 'It's really satisfying – I think we're building something really special here over last few campaigns,' he said. 'There are a few boys away with the Lions – that strength in depth comes through really nicely. 'I think we've showed that over the last few weeks. 'It's one of the tightest groups I've been a part of – generally everyone gets on with everyone and ultimately that's what makes a great team at the end of the day. 'Having that camaraderie – we're definitely building that really nicely.' Randall, Oghre, Curtis Langdon, Luke Northmore, Cadan Murley and Jack van Poortvliet all scored in a commanding albeit imperfect display at DC's Audi Field. USA grabbed a late consolation through Shilo Klein to give the home fans who remained something to cheer about but England's work was done as they ended their triumphant tour in style. Replacement Randall admits he has never experienced anything like the delays that led to the game finishing 90 minutes later than planned but hailed the group for dealing with it in the best way possible. 'It was a bit of a disruptive game but you've got to adapt to these things, which I think we did pretty well,' he said. 'It was tough conditions – the ball got greasy and slippery but we got what we wanted in the end. 'It's the first time in that situation – it's a weird one. 'It was just a case of when that delay came, switching off, relaxing and keep sipping away fluids as it's so hot. 'When the time comes to get back out there again, it's about getting switched, warming back up and ready to come on when needed.' Purchase your tickets to the Autumn Nations Series at Allianz Stadium

Fans furious after Osher Günsberg's fiery Dancing With The Stars meltdown: 'Check your ego'
Osher Günsberg dramatically clashed with the Dancing With The Stars judges on Sunday night after he received harsh criticism over his tango, which saw him sent home. Now, fans are taking to the social sphere to slam the Australian TV host's behaviour on screen, as well as his ability to dance. 'WTF was that attitude from Osher? The judges are there to give you constructive criticism, you think you danced amazingly and you just didn't, mate. Check your ego bro,' one viewer wrote on X, formerly Twitter. Another similarly chimed in: 'Osher is kinda annoying stop fighting with the judges.' One person saw his outburst as a sure nail in the coffin of his DWTS journey: 'Well, I guess Osher's a goner tonight, unless the audience take great pity on him.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Other fans of the show pointed out that Osher was never good enough on the dance floor to warrant his behaviour. 'Thank goodness Osher's out. He was voted to stay the first couple of weeks due to his popularity, but the man can't dance,' one person penned. Another added: 'Osher seems to have trouble accepting reality, he's just a bad dancer.' However, there were a few fans of The Bachelor host who raced to his defence. 'I don't think Osher has ever said he could dance. He is giving it a go and Craig is just downright rude,' one person levelled. Another person wrote: 'Poor Osher, he's trying so hard but he's just not good.' The fan favourite was shown the exit door during a heated episode of Dancing With the Stars on Sunday. Taking to the ballroom with a Tango routine backed by David Bowie 's 1980 hit Fashion, the TV host put in a feverish performance that failed to impress the judges. One person saw his outburst as a sure nail in the coffin of his DWTS journey. But there were a few fans of The Bachelor host who raced to his defence Taking his cue from the evening's 'Kings and Queens of song' theme, judge Craig Revel Horwood did not mince words when delivering his verdict. 'Well, that was a right royal mess! I don't know what that step was, coming down the ramp, darling, but it was fumbled...' Craig began, but a furious Osher interrupted. Visibly annoyed, Osher snapped, 'Would you like to try going down that Perspex ramp in those heels, sir? You're more than welcome to show me.' He continued to rage: 'But I need you to be doing it in a tango step while the person next to you is on one foot kicking, and you're holding their momentum against you. After you!' Craig seemed taken aback by the fiery exchange, replying to a fuming Osher, 'That is not my job.' He then continued on with his critique despite the tense atmosphere, which had host Sonia Kruger visibly shocked. 'It was completely erratic,' Craig said, after dismissing Osher's remarks. Craig told the frustrated TV personality, 'You were making mistakes left, right and centre.' Fellow judge Mark Wilson did offer Osher some words of encouragement, telling him that he admired his determination to improve his dancing skills. However, the final score was a dismal 15 points, and Osher was sent home.
