Gary Lineker was cut from BBC's Children in Need special due to time constraints, months after his Match of the Day exit over a controversial social media post.
Gary Lineker has been removed from the BBC’s upcoming Children in Need charity special of The Celebrity Apprentice, despite filming a segment in March.
The decision, attributed to time constraints, comes months after his departure from Match of the Day, which followed controversy over a social media post using an image of a rat in a discussion about Zionism—a symbol historically linked to antisemitism.
Lineker apologized, stating he did not intend to offend and that stepping back was responsible.
The special, airing December 29, will still feature celebrities like Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch traveling to Lapland to make festive treats for charity.
The BBC has not commented further on the removal.
