This Morning’s Phillip Schofield defended Gary Lineker in the wake of the BBC ’s impartiality row which saw the broadcaster confirm 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’.
