Loose Women’s Janet Street-Porter described the impartiality row between the BBC and Gary Lineker as a battle of egos after the broadcaster confirmed he would return to present Match of the Day.
BBC director general Tim Davie announced an independent review will be carried out on social media guidelines after Lineker was taken off air after tweeted criticism of the government's new asylum policy.
The weekend football coverage on the BBC faced major disruption amid staff walkouts due to Lineker's suspension and he has now thanked his colleagues for their ‘incredible support’.
