Gary Lineker will make his return to television on Friday night, but it won’t be as part of his main role at the BBC.
The beloved Match of the Day anchor is set to return to hosting duties this weekend after he was taken off air by the publicly-funded broadcaster. Lineker was temporarily suspended by the BBC in light of social media posts criticising the Government's Illegal Migration Bill.
He is due to front BBC’s coverage of the FA Cup quarter final between Manchester City and Burnley, with Mark Chapman sitting in on the Premier League highlights show.
