Gary Lineker has spoken in public for the first time since the BBC decided to pull him off air.
A spokesperson for the BBC 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', following remarks he made about UK immigration. The announcement sent the BBC’s flagship football programme into a crisis.
Fellow pundits Alan Shearer and Ian Wright confirmed on Friday evening that they would not be taking part in Saturday's show. The programme's commentators then confirmed that they would not be taking part, meaning the BBC were forced to broadcast their flagship football show without a presenter, pundits or commentators.
