The sports presenter was back on our screens after the controversial fall-out which saw him step back last weekend
Gary Lineker agreed it was "good to be back" on the BBC to present Manchester City's FA Cup tie against Burnley on Match of the Day Live after stepping back from presenting last weekend in a controversial row over broadcaster's impartiality rules. The former England and Leicester City footballer came under fire for comparing the language used by the government in their asylum plans to 'that used by Germany in the 30s' in a tweet.
By the start of this week, a decision was made to reinstate Gary and apologise for the fallout. As he kicked off his first live appearance since the row, co-star Alan apologised. But viewers were distracted by Gary's hoarse-sounding voice as they flocked to Twitter to express concern and send well-wishes. @PenryTJ tweeted: "Sounds like you’ve got a sore throat mate, get well soon. Great to hear Micah laughing so raucously again."
@mcfadzean_neil messaged: "Need to rest that throat of yours, sounding a bit rough bud..." And @McgranaghanSue said he sounded like he was "struggling to speak." "Sounds like a sore throat - hope he doesn’t lose his voice completely as that would be awkward," tweeted Sue.
