Gary Lineker has spoken for the first time on TV screens since his return to working on the BBC.
The renowned pundit was back working as lead presenter for the BBC’s coverage of the FA Cup quarter-final between Manchester City and Burnley. He was still not back working on Match of the Day, following his return to the broadcasting company earlier this week.
Lineker was forced to step aside from his role on the BBC’s flagship Premier League highlights programme following his comments on Twitter about the Government's controversial new policy on asylum seekers. The decision led to several pundits and commentators announcing they would not work on the programme as a show of solidarity for their colleague.
