Gary Lineker has confirmed he will leave the BBC after presenting his final episode of Match of the Day on Sunday.

This isn’t Lineker’s first controversy. In 2023, the BBC said it had had a ‘frank conversation'” with the star after he criticized the government’s asylum policy, comparing the language to “not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 30s.”

Gary Lineker, a former England soccer captain who became the face of the sport on British TV, will leave the BBC after apologising for sharing a social media post about Zionism that drew complaints over antisemitism.
