Gary Lineker will return to Match of the Day in days, BBC confirms as broadcaster apologises for row but host DOESN’T

The Sun says THE BBC apologised today as they confirmed Gary Lineker will return for FA Cup coverage following a row over his inflammatory migrant tweets.

The announcement comes after a weekend of chaos saw schedules changed last-minute and a different format for Match of the Day.

Lineker, 62, will return to screens to front this weekend’s FA Cup action after striking a deal with the BBC – as he today faced Tory fury over the crisis.

The BBC is now going to review its social media guidelines as Director General Tim Davie apologised for the “difficult period” for staff, presenters and audiences.

He added: “Gary is a valued part of the BBC and I know how much the BBC means to Gary, and I look forward to him presenting our coverage this coming weekend.”
