Gary Lineker 'under review' by Twitter after controversial posts and BBC backlash

Gary Lineker has revealed that he is “under review” by Twitter after the Match of the Day presenter lost his blue tick on the social media platform.

Lineker is a prolific Twitter user, frequently sharing his thoughts with his 8.9million followers. His use of the platform has caused plenty of controversy, with his suspension by the BBC last month coming after he refused to apologise for tweeting criticism of the Government’s bill on illegal migrants.

The 62-year-old was reinstated by the BBC following a huge backlash and he has continued to tweet often, sharing his thoughts on football, politics and more. But his account no longer has the sought-after blue tick, which signifies accounts that have been verified by Twitter.
