Carol Vorderman supports Gary Lineker after BBC host’s attack on migrant plan

Carol Vorderman has become the latest celebrity to back Gary Lineker over his comments on the Government's controversial immigration bill. The 62-year-old who lives in Clifton expressed her support for Gary by leaving a remark under his tweet in which he thanked everyone for their support during this intense dispute.

The bill being put forward to parliament aims to quell the number of boats carrying asylum seekers crossing the English Channel with tougher measures to deter them. On the social media platform, the former England footballer compared the language used to launch the asylum policy to that used by the Nazis in 1930s Germany.

Gary was criticised for his stance, with the BBC saying it would have a "frank conversation" with their star. However, plenty of people have responded in support of Gary's comments.
