A couple have been caught on film appearing to have sex in the middle of the pitch at Charlton Athletic's football ground The Valley.

A video of the incident, which was uploaded online by Showboat Vines, appears to show a male and female getting intimate in the centre circle of the pitch.

Alongside the video, a message read: "Someone broke into The Valley (home of Charlton) and did this in the centre circle! #SextraTime."

According to The Mirror, the Championship club, who are 16th in the table, have launched an investigation into the footage.

It is not yet clear who the couple are or when the incident occurred.
