Piers Morgan has urged Gary Lineker to 'tell the BBC to go f*** themselves' after the pundit was asked to step back from presenting Match of the Day.
The regular presenter of Saturday's flagship highlights programme was told to temporarily step away from the role after comparing language used by the government in presenting their asylum plans 'to that used by Germany in the 30s.'
The BBC released a statement on Friday afternoon in which they said they found recent tweets from the former striker 'to be a breach of our guidelines". It added he should 'keep well away from taking sides on party political issues or political controversies'.
