Gary Lineker is set to return to BBC and Match of the Day after a u-turn from the broadcaster.
Lineker was recently taken off air after a tweet criticising the Government's "stop the boats" policy. Tim Davie, director-general of the BBC, apologised to staff, contributors, presenters and the audiences for what he described as a 'difficult period'.
The director-general also confirmed an independent review will now take place on BBC social media guidance after a fallout. The row began after Tuesday's announcement of government plans to ban people arriving in the UK on "small boats" from ever claiming asylum. On Twitter, Lineker said it was an "immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language that is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 30s."
