BBC chiefs are holding urgent crisis talks with Gary Lineker on Sunday as the broadcaster desperately bids to resolve the chaos caused by his suspension.
Lineker was suspended by the BBC on Friday after tweeting comments about the Government's illegal immigration bill. The decision has seen many of his colleagues pull out of their roles this weekend in solidarity with the Match of the Day presenter.
Lineker and BBC bosses are holding crisis talks on Sunday in a bid to resolve the conflict. The negotiations are said to be 'inching forward', with the broadcaster desperate to get him back to work in the coming week.
