Emily Maitlis has slammed the BBC for jeopardising its own rules about impartiality after pulling Gary Lineker from hosting Match of the Day.
The 52-year-old presenter worked for the Beeb from 2001 until last year and she has already backed 62-year-old Gary amid a bitter fall over views he expressed relating to the Governments planned changes to laws relating to illegal immigration.
Gary had blasted the UK government’s plans via Twitter and compared them to “Germany in the 30s” which sparked an angry response from the government and some critics who took offence with the star comparing the UK to Nazi Germany.
