BBC bosses are rushing to repair relations with Gary Lineker in order to stave off a staff mutiny at the corporation, according to The Guardian.

The paper says executives at the BBC were “scrambling to repair relations” between the corporation and Lineker. The MOTD presenter was pictured walking his dog in London on Sunday. 

The paper goes on to report on the ongoing crisis surrounding the collapse of the Silicon Valley Bank, as the UK government tries to secure an emergency support package for the company’s British arm.
