Gary Lineker will return to Match of the Day if he is asked - but will never apologise, his son has said.
The BBC was flung into chaos this week when bosses pulled Gary, 62, off air following anti-Tory posts on Twitter - sparking a massive revolt which saw fellow football pundits including Ian Wright and Alan Shearer walk out in solidarity with him.
Tonight BBC director general Tim Davie praised Gary as "the best in the business" and defined success as "Gary gets back on air."
