Gary Lineker has returned to work with the BBC for the first time since he was axed from Match of the Day for his comments about the government's asylum policy on social media.
The 62-year-old was back on the BBC screens for Manchester City's clash against Burnley in the FA Cup quarter-finals alongside Micah Richards and Alan Shearer. At the start of the show, after Lineker said it was "great to be here", Shearer said: "I just need to clear up and wanted to say how upset we were for the audience that missed out last weekend.
"It was a really difficult situation for everyone concerned and through no fault of their own some really great people in TV and radio were put in an impossible situation and that wasn’t fair so it’s good to get back to some sort of normality and be talking about football again."
