Exposed: Gary Lineker's henchman's vicious personal email to KATIE HIND that shows exactly how star operates - and why BBC are 'losing their s***'


There have been two topics of conversation at the BBC this week: whether Morning Live hosts Helen Skelton and Gethin Jones are dating, and Gary Lineker.

In 2023, Lineker was given a severe ticking-off over his social media conduct, when he tweeted that language used by ministers to promote a government asylum policy was ‘not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 30s’. Hours later, he released his statement to effectively say he was cutting ties completely with the BBC, and would not host its coverage of next year’s World Cup, as was the original agreement when he announced his departure in November. Also, I am told, it rankles with staff that despite Lineker leaving under a dark cloud, tonight’s Match Of The Day is rumoured to feature a highlights reel of his time on the show.
