Match of the Day pundits Alan Shearer and Ian Wright have said they will not be appearing on Saturday’s show as a backlash grows over the BBC’s announcement that Gary Lineker is “stepping away” from presenting duties.
The BBC found itself at the centre of a growing storm on Friday evening after it said Lineker will “step back” from presenting the flagship football show following his comments on Twitter about the Government’s plans to stop migrants crossing the Channel on small boats.
