Gary Lineker 's son George has revealed he has received vile death threats on social media after backing his dad during his row with the BBC.
George was a vocal backer of the elder Lineker after he was stood down from his role presenting Match of the Day. But he has now opened up on the abuse he has received since doing so.
"Social media’s mad isn’t it. Over the last few days, on insta - never had so many nice messages. On Twitter - never had so much abuse. It’s not even anything to do with me," George wrote on Twitter.
