Piers Morgan has come to Gary Lineker's defence after the latter criticised the government's new asylum policy.
The Talk TV host said that while Lineker's remarks were "clearly incendiary" his opinions "should not matter to the BBC's news output" because The Match Of The Day host is not a news reporter. The 62-year-old received a wave of backlash from the Tory Party after comparing the language used to launch the policy with that of 1930s Germany.
Both Morgan and Lineker have previously clashed on multiple occasions due to differing opinions on various topic. However, Morgan said on Talk TV on Wednesday that he had "no problem" with Lineker expressing his personal views online.
