Gary Lineker has insisted that the decision to take him off Match of the Day presenting duties was the BBC's and not his.
A spokesperson for the publicly-funded organisation confirmed on Friday that Lineker would not be presenting Match of the Day until an agreement has been made regarding his future use of social media.
Lineker described the government's new Migration Bill as "beyond awful" after it was unveiled by home secretary Suella Braverman on Tuesday, later adding: "This is just an immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language that is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 30s."
