Gary Lineker LIVE: BBC presenter has hit out at chief as audacious ITV switch backed | Football | Sport




In the heat of the backlash, Gary Lineker publicly apologised for sharing the controversial post on Instagram.

“On Instagram, I reposted material which I have since learned contained offensive references,” the former England player’s statement read.

“I very much regret these references. I would never knowingly share anything antisemitic. It goes against everything I believe in.

“Whilst I strongly believe in the importance of speaking out on humanitarian issues, including the tragedy unfolding in Gaza, I also know that how we do so matters.

"I take full responsibility for this mistake. That image does not reflect my views. It was an error on my part for which I apologise unreservedly.”
