BBC bosses have confirmed Gary Lineker will not present Match of the Day as they announced the presenter will be in crisis talks.
The decision by the publicly-funded broadcaster has angered the general public and seen major names from the world of sport and showbiz rush to support Lineker - with co-stars Alan Shearer and Ian Wright refusing to appear on the show tomorrow night out of solidarity.
Sources claim the decision to take a break from hosting Match of the Day wasn't made by Lineker, with the presenter actually not agreeing to 'step back' and instead, taken off air due to refusing to apologise for his tweets on social media earlier this week.
