Gary Lineker could face a police investigation over the anti-Semitic Instagram post that led to his departure from the BBC, according to the Telegraph. Scotland Yard officers have visited at least one complainant who reported suffering significant distress over the social media post from last week.

Gary Lineker will leave the BBC after he presents his final 'Match of the Day' on Sunday following controversy over a social media post about Zionism.

Lineker, 64, “apologised unreservedly” last week after being heavily criticised for sharing a social media post that included a rat emoji.
