Fern Britton has voiced her support for Gary Lineker after realising that he is not contractually obligated to not share his political opinions.
Earlier this week, the England football legend, 62, compared language used by the Conservative party in their 'Stop the Boats' asylum policy to terminology used by Hitler's Third Reich regime - prompting BBC bosses to remove him from presenting Match Of The Day this weekend.
The dad-of-four, who works for the BBC as a freelance TV host, said the language in which their plan to 'stop the boats' was set out was "not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 30s".
