Gary Lineker ignores reporters questions as he leaves his London home

Gary Lineker ignored reporters as he was questioned while walking out of his London home amid an impartiality row with the BBC.

The sports pundit has been pulled from his regular Match of the Day hosting gig over a tweet where he compared the small boats legislation with 1930s Germany.

It has led to a growing boycott of the BBC show, which is now going ahead today, 11 March, without pundits or many regular faces.

Alan Shearer and Ian Wright are among those who will not appear on the show.
