Gary Lineker has opened up on his contract situation at the BBC after rumours suggested that his time as host of Match of the Day was coming to an end.
Last week, MailOnline revealed that Lineker’s future at the show could be in doubt after seeing an email that appeared to show that a statement was being prepared for his departure.
However, after hosting the show as per usual on Saturday, Lineker revealed that conversations about his future on the football programme are ongoing.
‘It’s been a strange few days,’ he said on The Rest Is Football podcast. ‘As you know, like Trent, like Virgil, like Mo, I am coming to the end of my contract in the summer.
‘It’s natural at some point that you have to have conversations and they’ve just started. I don’t know why it all spiralled out of control, but all is OK.’
