The BBC Board said it is "the right time" for the company to review its social media guidelines after reinstating Gary Lineker on Match of the Day.
The corporation was slammed after announcing on Friday that Lineker had been asked to stand down from presenting MOTD following the fallout over his tweets criticising the government’s proposed small boats policy.
Lineker likened the language used to announce Home Office’s plans to ‘Germany in the 30s’ - and refused to back down.
