A TV channel in Serbia has gone viral after a bizarre on-air blunder.

Nacionalna Televizija Happy – best known as Happy – was meant to show highlights from Serbia‘s win over Andorra on Tuesday.

Aleksandar Mitrovic hit a hat-trick as the Serbians ran out comfortable 3-0 winners in the World Cup qualifier.

But fans watching in Serbia were treated to an unexpected view on Happy’s post-match news bulletin.

The channel appeared to broadcast footage from a VIDEO GAME rather than the match itself.

Happy’s news anchor can be heard describing the goals from Mitrovic at the Dubočica Stadium.

Footage shown on screen however looked to be taken from Konami’s eFootball.

The gameplay was shown on screen for more than 20 seconds before the segment ended.

Anchors on the channel did not reference the blunder, per Informer.

Serbia and Andorra are both in Group K alongside England, Latvia and Albania.

Ex-Fulham striker Mitrovic’s three goals were his fourth international hat-trick.

The 30-year-old has netted 68 goals in 79 games for Al Hilal since joining the Saudi side in 2023.

Mitrovic has been linked with a return to the Prem this summer.

Manchester United, Everton and West Ham have been linked with a move for the former Newcastle forward.

Reports suggest it would take £40million to prize him back from Al Hilal.

NEW YORK JETS owner Woody Johnson has launched a bid to buy John Textor’s minority stake in Crystal Palace, according to reports.

Textor, 59, has been trying to flog his shares as Uefa threaten to throw Palace out of next season’s Europa League.

The Eagles qualified for the Europa League by virtue of lifting the FA Cup last month.

As Textor, who owns a 43 per cent stake in Palace, is majority owner of French side Lyon, who have also qualified for the Europa League, the Eagles’ place in Europe has come under threat.

Uefa rules dictate that two teams under the same ownership cannot compete in the same competition.

Textor could have placed his shares into a blind trust by March 1 to avoid this issue, but with Palace’s FA Cup triumph still appearing to be a long shot at the time, the American businessman did not.

Palace chiefs are currently desperately trying to convince Uefa bigwigs that Textor has no involvement in day-to-day goings on at the club.

The Missouri-native has long been thought to be trying to flog his shares.

And according to Sky Sports, Jets owner Johnson has made a bid.

Johnson, 78, served as US ambassador to the UK during Donald Trump‘s first administration.

Last month it was reported that the New Jersey-native may even try to buy a controlling stake in the Eagles.

Long-serving chairman Steve Parish owns around 10 per cent of the South London club, having helped to save them from going bust in 2010.

Americans David Blitzer and Josh Harris own 36 per cent, with Textor possessing a 43 per cent stake.

Parish and Textor are said to have fallen out in 2023.

And last year, the latter attempted to buy Everton, before being beaten by compatriot Dan Friedkin.

Johnson bought the New York Jets in 2000, with the NFL franchise now estimated to be worth around $6.9bn.

Under Johnson’s ownership the Jets moved to MetLife Stadium, where next year’s World Cup final will be held.

Speaking to former co-star Matthew Wolfenden, Roxy opened up about how she felt having to kiss her co-stars – and it’s safe to say she’s not a fan.

Matthew said: “They decided to try to put David and Leyla back together — do you remember? — and we had to do a kissy scene. It was the weirdest thing, wasn’t it?

“Because it’s alright when you’re doing those scenes with… (people you don’t know so well).”

She said on their podcast The Celebrity Side Hustle Roxy said: “I really struggle with them, because I am someone, and I know it sounds daft as an actor because people listening will be saying, ‘It’s your job.’ 

“It is, and you do get on with it, but for me personally, I’m so weird about personal space.

“I’ve just never felt comfortable with it.”

She added: “It’s always made me anxious.

“I always get a bit awkward, but the best way I found to deal with it is to almost choreograph it like a dance.”

The actress left the show in 2024, and bowed out after her character, Leyla was killed in the tragic limo crash. 

A source close to the telly star said at the time: “Roxy has adored her time on the soap and has made so many happy memories since first joining when she was 17. 

“The cast have become like family to her and she has grown so much as an actress, but now feels like the perfect time to spread her wings and try something new.

“She is really excited about her meaty exit storyline, which will see her character Leyla die on screen. 

“She’d rather go out in a blaze of glory and be remembered.”

GREEN-FINGERED enthusiasts can now add style and privacy to their outdoor space for cheaper than ever.

A giant Mediterranean plant is currently available for less than half price.

Adding a tree to your garden can help to elevate the privacy of your space (stock image)[/caption]

You can elevate the look of your garden as well as its privacy with this classy buy.

And you can also make significant savings on this stylish garden addition.

The Giant Tuscan Olive Tree has been reduced from £399.99 to just £149.99.

The deal, available from Gardening Express, helps to save shoppers a whopping £250.

And this tree is the perfect addition to a sun-drenched garden or patio.

Place this olive tree in a large planter or directly in the ground to create your own Tuscan terrace at home.

This plant is said to thrive in any well-drained bright spot of your garden.

The grey-green leaves will remain all year as well as the tiny creamy-white flowers that eventually develop into the green fruit.

It will give your garden Mediterranean-style finish, making you feel like you’re on holidays without leaving your home.

This plant flowers during the summer, with the olives ripening in autumn.

However, be sure to shield these plants from harsher winter winds by planting in sheltered corners of your garden or moving pots into a conservatory during cold weather.

These trees have long life spans, with some even growing to be hundreds of years old.

And since olive trees can reach heights of 20 to 30 feet, this makes the perfect natural privacy barrier for your garden, but it may take some time.

Shoppers raved about the plant in the review section of Gardening Express.

They rated the olive tree a perfect five stars.

“All first class. The tree was well wrapped and in very good condition,” wrote one buyer.

“I have been buying plants from Gardeningexpress for two years now, and I can say they are simply the best.”

“Wonderful tree! The size is incredible and seem to be much more expensive elsewhere,” agreed another customer.

“The quality of the tree and condition is also fantastic.”

“Really big trees delivered in great condition. Exactly as advertised. I’m a regular customer and they never let me down,” said a third person.
