Lineker's football podcast dropped by BBC after row

New episodes of Gary Lineker's podcast The Rest is Football will no longer appear on the BBC's audio streaming service after the presenter leaves the corporation in the wake of an antisemitism row.

The show, which is produced by Lineker's company Goalhanger Productions, will continue to be available elsewhere, but will have its last episode on BBC Sounds this week.

He had already been due to leave Match of the Day of Sunday, but will not stay to front the BBC's FA Cup and World Cup coverage next year as planned after being critcised for sharing a post about Zionism bearing the image of a rat.

He has apologised, saying on Monday he did not see the image and that he "would never consciously repost anything antisemitic".
