Gary Lineker and Tommy Robinson got into a public feud after a video of Lineker in Mexico circulated online. The 65-year-old former footballer was captured walking with a woman, sparking comments from Robinson, who has previously criticized Lineker for his political views. Lineker clarified that the woman in the video was his daughter-in-law, Bella, and explained they were going to a pharmacy to get medicine for her husband, who is Lineker’s son.

Robinson, also known as Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, has clashed with Lineker before, alleging that an elderly woman elbowed him at one of Robinson’s rallies. Lineker shared his experiences of facing public criticism, including being accused of hating Britain while grocery shopping. He revealed that the trip to Mexico was to attend an event in Pachuca where he was inducted into the International Football Hall of Fame.

Speculation is swirling about Lineker potentially signing a deal with Netflix ahead of the next World Cup in North America. Lineker left the BBC after being the face of Match of the Day for 26 years, following an anti-Semitism row. Despite winning accolades post-BBC, Lineker joked about leaving the broadcaster earlier, hinting at a more successful period post-departure.
