Gary Lineker is set to set to step down from the BBC tomorrow over antisemitism allegations and will not helm the broadcaster's coverage of the 2026 World Cup.
The long-standing sports broadcaster was condemned for his now-deleted Instagram video story that prompted backlash from sections of the Jewish community.
The post featured a pro-Palestine video featuring an anti-Jewish rat slur, with the Match of the Day presenter insisting he would 'never knowingly share anything anti-Semitic'.
Lineker, 64, apologised unreservedly for the 'mistake' saying 'that image does not reflect my views'.
The image of rats and vermin are considered provocative since they were widely used as propaganda against Jews in 1930s Nazi Germany.
