In March last year, Lineker briefly stepped away from presenting the programme after his tweet about the British government’s asylum policy sparked a row about BBC presenters expressing political views on social media.
In August 2016, he made good on an earlier promise to present the show in his underpants after his boyhood club Leicester won the Premier League.
