The Metropolitan Police said the force is assessing whether an investigation is needed following complaints about presenter Gary Lineker’s social media post which led to his early exit from the BBC. Scotland Yard officers visited at least one complainant who told them she suffered “significant distress”, The Daily Telegraph reports.

After overthree decades with the BBC, Gary Lineker is set to leave this weekend, marking a significant turning point in his career and in the BBC's approach to social media and impartiality. The football presenter's abrupt exit follows a controversy over an allegedly 'anti-semitic' social media post that has reignited debates about the boundaries between personal expression and professional responsibility.
