LONDON : Gary Lineker, a former England captain and the face of soccer on British television for over two decades, will leave the BBC, the broadcaster said in a statement on Monday.
Match Of The Day presenter Gary Lineker is expected to announce he has quit the BBC on Monday and will not front its coverage of the 2026 World Cup, it has been reported.
Gary Lineker is reportedly on the verge of leaving the BBC after a social media post earlier in the week left some staff at the broadcaster feeling 'disgusted'.
Match of the Day host Gary Lineker has “apologised unreservedly” for a social media re-post which featured a picture of a rat saying he would “never knowingly share anything antisemitic”.
The director general of the BBC Tim Davie has said people need to follow the broadcaster’s social media rules when asked about the row involving football pundit Gary Lineker.
Gary Lineker has said he thinks the BBC wanted him to leave Match Of The Day – with the former footballer adding that he “didn’t like the damage” done by his controversial tweeting.
Gary Lineker has said he “always wanted to go into media” as he revealed his podcast company’s latest show.
The wife of former BBC presenter Jermaine Jenas has said she and her husband have split up.
