Former Match of the Day presenter, who left BBC in May, reported to have signed deal to host The Box

Gary Lineker is to host a new gameshow on ITV, under a deal that will bring him back to screens after his departure from the BBC, according to reports.

The former Match of the Day presenter and former England football captain, who was the highest-paid on-air star at the BBC, parted ways with the broadcaster in May, days after apologising for amplifying online material with antisemitic connotations.
