A refugee who lived with Gary Lineker in 2020 has spoken out about what it was like staying in the former footballer and BBC presenter's home. Law student Rasheed Baluch has praised the TV pundit and says the UK should be 'proud of him'.
Rasheed's words come after Gary Lineker publicly condemned the government’s asylum crackdown on Twitter. The BBC suspended him over the post, where he likened the Tory policy to that used in 1930s Germany.
A little over a week later, Lineker has since put the migrants row behind him and he returned to TV on Saturday. Rasheed, 35, was given free bed and board at Lineker’s £4million Surrey home three years ago.
