The BBC has confirmed Gary Lineker will leave his presenting roles sooner than planned.
His departure comes after he shared a post about Zionism that included a drawing of a rat, which is historically used as an antisemitic insult.
In a statement, Lineker said: "I recognise the error and upset that I caused, and reiterate how sorry I am”.
In November 2024, Lineker announced his departure from Match of the Day, but said he would still present FA Cup and World Cup coverage next season. He will now leave after the final Match of the Day of the season on Sunday.
