The BBC have confirmed that they'll speak to Gary Lineker after the legendary ex-footballer appeared to draw comparisons between the government's new Illegal Migration Bill and Nazi Germany.
Lineker, 62, described the controversial bill - unveiled by home secretary Suella Braverman on Tuesday to a wave of backlash - as "beyond awful" before facing calls to be sacked. After a BBC source told the Daily Mail that the Match of the Day host had 'crossed a line' with his comparison, a spokesperson for the broadcaster made it clear that he'll be "reminded of his responsibilities on social media," per Sky News.
A spokesperson also added: "The BBC has social media guidance, which is published. Individuals who work for us are aware of their responsibilities relating to social media. We have appropriate internal processes in place if required."
