Gary Lineker claims BBC departure was ‘a case of quit or be quitted'
Gary Lineker has claimed his departure from the BBC was a case of 'quit or be quitted'. The former Match Of The Day presenter was asked if his departure from the corporation was 'of his own volition, or a case of quit or be quitted?' to which he replied 'the latter', during an interview with The New World, formerly known as The New European. Advertisement The 64-year-old left the BBC early following a post about Zionism which featured a depiction of a rat, historically an antisemitic insult, which he apologised for, saying he stands 'against all forms of racism'. Lineker said he did not blame BBC director-general Tim Davie for his departure. Photo: Nick Potts/PA. The presenter will no longer front BBC coverage of the 2026 World Cup or the FA Cup next season as had been intended, with his last episode of Match Of The Day coming on May 25th. Speaking about his departure, Lineker said: 'That's what changed after that. I made a mistake and I immediately took it down and apologised, which I thought should have been enough.' He went on to say that he believed he had complied with the BBC's impartiality rules as he had looked at the war in Gaza 'without a vested interest'. Advertisement Lineker added: 'I've got no skin in the game. I'm not Muslim, I'm not Palestinian, I'm not Israeli, I'm not Jewish. I come from a place of complete impartiality. And then it becomes about truth. 'People talked about me being antisemitic. I'm not anti-any group of people. Any race, any colour. But I am anti the killing of children.' The former England striker went on to say he did not blame director-general Tim Davie for his exit, adding: 'Tim Davie I know and I get on well with. I know how difficult it is for him with what's going on. 'Do I dislike people at the BBC? Not the people that I know.' Advertisement At the time of Lineker's departure, Davie said in a statement that the pair 'agreed he will step back from further presenting after this season', after the former presenter 'acknowledged the mistake he made'. Davie added: 'Gary has been a defining voice in football coverage for the BBC for over two decades. His passion and knowledge have shaped our sports journalism and earned him the respect of sports fans across the UK and beyond. We want to thank him for the contribution he has made.' In his own statement, Lineker said that 'stepping back now feels like the responsible course of action'. The ex-Barcelona player went on to say in The New World interview that he has toned down his use of social media following the incident. Advertisement He explained: 'Social media's changed a lot. People say to me 'when did you start having a view on things?', and I say 'well I've always had a view but social media gave me the platform'. 'Perhaps I wish it hadn't. I've come off X completely. I only use it to promote a podcast now. It's just become horrible. Nasty.' Lineker also runs Goalhanger Podcasts which produces podcasts such as The Rest Is Football, The Rest Is History, The Rest Is Politics, and The Rest Is Entertainment, and the Leicester-born star revealed in the interview that his company would soon produce a science podcast. The Rest Is Football podcast, which Lineker presents alongside former footballers Micah Richards and Alan Shearer, moved from the BBC to British internet sports streaming platform DAZN following Lineker's BBC exit.

Star Wars film slapped with new trigger warning 26 years after it was first released
STAR Wars has become the latest iconic film to be slapped with a trigger warning - 26 years after it was first released. Episode I: The Phantom Menace became a hit upon release in 1999 but now film bosses have been forced to add a new warning amid the growing trend in slapping classic hits with refreshed warnings for 2025. 3 3 Starring Liam Neeson, Keira Knightley and Samuel L. Jackson, the movie became a runaway box office hit. But now new warnings have been added as well as a re-classification understood to be provoked by an aggressive fight scene. The British Board of Film Classification have decided that a 'U' certificate, which stands for universal and means suitable for all ages, is no longer appropriate. It has instead been rated PG - often used to suggest films suitable for those aged eight and above or with parental consent - as a result of brief "bloody detail" and "non-graphic" shots of a dissected body. The film's starship dogfights and use of laser weapons were also used as a reason to upgrade the movie's classification. All these were attributed as the reason why the film must carry a new classification plus an updated warning. It is the latest in a long-line of films and TV shows from years gone-by to face a new warning added for broadcast in 2025. ITV show Inspector Morse found itself slapped with a warning last week as a result of its "crime scenes". ITV bosses fear viewers may get offended or upset while the mild-mannered Oxford detective solves his mystery of the week. Streaming service ITVX even warns of 'Satanic images' in one episode of the crime drama, which ran from 1987 to 2000. Viewers must click past a parental control screen to watch series seven's 'Day of the Devil'. Many other episodes also have crime and violence warnings. The Fast Show has also found itself hit with a warning last month. The classic series on iPlayer was flagged for using 'discriminatory language'. In February, Channel 4 was branded 'humourless' for flagging a series of Father Ted episodes on its streaming service. Regulators also hit Graham Linehan's Bafta-winning sitcom The IT Crowd with advisories, with one telling sensitive viewers: 'This episode was made in 2006 and contains strong, strong/offensive derogatory language and adult humour.' 3
