Football pundit Gary Lineker has “apologised unreservedly” for a social media re-post which featured a picture of a rat saying he would “never knowingly share anything antisemitic”.

The TV presenter, 64, came under criticism after he shared, then deleted, a post on his Instagram account from the group, Palestine Lobby, illustrated with a picture of a rat, titled: “Zionism explained in two minutes.”
