Gary Lineker accused Good Morning Britain host Richard Madeley of misrepresenting him during a grilling about the tweet which saw the Match of the Day host temporarily stood down by the BBC from presenting duties.
Lineker, 62, was removed from the flagship BBC sports show after tweeting that language used by the Conservative UK Government about immigration was "not dissimilar" to language used in 1930s Germany. He was off air for days, but was later reinstated following a boycott of top on-air talent in solidarity with Lineker.
During a morning TV appearance to promote his ITV game show Sitting On A Fortune, Lineker was quizzed by Madeley about the controversy, with Madeley saying Lineker had compared the UK Government to the Nazis.
