The BBC has confirmed reports that Gary Lineker is set to return following intense backlash over its handling of his tweet about the government's immigration policy.
In a statement on Monday morning, BBC Director General Tim Davie issued an apology to viewers for the row over the weekend and admitted that there was "potential confusion" over the "grey areas of the BBC's social media guidance".
He went on to announce that an independent review would be conducted into the BBC's social media guidance. It was also confirmed that Gary would be returning to host Match Of The Day this weekend after he was told to stand down from presenting on Saturday.
