Gary Lineker is set to continue hosting Match of the Day after BBC director general Tim Davie issued an apology for the disruption to the corporation sports coverage over the weekend.
In a statement Davie also announced plans for an external review of its social media guidance and how it applies to freelancers.
The controversy began when Lineker published a tweet last week criticising the UK Government's immigration policy. He was then stepped down as Match of the Day host with the BBC citing a breach of their social media guidelines as the reason.
