Gary Lineker reunites with his first wife Michelle Cockayne in rare joint appearance at their son Harry's Ibiza wedding - 19 years after bitter divorce


The pair divorced in 2006 on the grounds of Gary's 'unreasonable behaviour,' and share four sons - George, 34, Harry, 31, Tobias, 29, and Angus, 26.

In a video shared to Instagram, Gary necked back the drink before the bottle was passed to his entrepreneur younger brother, 63, with the pair having seemingly buried the hatchet for the family event. But the England legend announced that he would step back from the broadcaster for good after becoming embroiled in controversy for sharing an Instagram story about Zionism featuring a rat - an antisemitic trope used by the Nazis to characterise Jewish people as vermin. After Lineker shared his statement stepping back from the broadcaster, the BBC's director of sport Alex Kay-Jelski sent an email to staff minutes afterwards highlighting how 'difficult and emotional' the rolling controversy had been for many of his employees.
