Gary Lineker’s accelerated departure from the BBC was all but confirmed on Radio 4 this morning as presenters discussed what went wrong between the corporation and its highest-paid star ahead of his premature exit. “Mistakes” was their answer…

Lineker will present his final Match of the Day next weekend and won’t present the 2026 World Cup coverage. Guido has been keeping track of Lineker’s “mistakes” over the past few years:

• Breached guidelines for a tweet attacking the Tories and their “Russian donors.“

• Said the BBC’s removal of the documentary ‘Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone’ was “racist.“
