Read our privacy policy Gary Lineker made another statement on small boat migrants after the BBC confirmed the star presenter would be returning to hosting duties with the corporation. He also thanked BBC boss Mr Davie, noting his “impossible job keeping everybody happy.” “Also, I’d like to thank Tim Davie for his understanding during this difficult period. Mr Davie said there have been “no easy answers” and he did the “right thing” after the corporation asked Gary Lineker to step away from Match Of The Day. Mr Davie told BBC News: “I've always said we need to take proportionate action, and for some people.we've taken too severe action, others think we're being too lenient.“There's never been an easy solution but asking Gary to step back off air, I think, was a significant thing and now we look forward with this agreement, moving forward to resolve things and get back to business as usual.”
