Gary Lineker has described his impartiality row with the BBC over a tweet about immigration as a “lovers’ tiff”, saying he and the broadcaster had been “together a long time”.
Last March the Match of the Day (MotD) presenter was taken off air for breaching impartiality guidelines after hecriticised the government’s asylum policy on Twitter, now called X, but he was reinstated after some of his colleagues pulled out of shows in solidarity.
