Gary Lineker says he is "very much looking forward" to presenting BBC show Match of the Day on Saturday night amid a fierce debate over his recent Nazi comparison.
The former England striker has dominated headlines after comparing the government's proposed immigration policy to that of Nazi Germany in the 1930s. The popular television host often shares his views on non-football and political topics on Twitter and hit out at Suella Braverman on Wednesday.
Responding to a tweet from the Home Secretary outlining plans to stop migrants crossing the English Channel on boats which claimed the United Kingdom is "overwhelmed", Lineker wrote: "Good heavens, this is beyond awful." He added: " There is no huge influx. We take far fewer refugees than other major European countries. This is just an immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language that is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the '30s."
