‘I’ve got plenty of room’ – Gary Lineker ‘to welcome refugee to live at his house’

It came after Tory MP Lee Anderson accused Lineker of “virtue signalling” and suggested he should house “the next boat of illegal immigrants”.

Gary Lineker is reportedly set to welcome a refugee to live with him.

The Match Of The Day host, 59, has been critical of the Government’s response to migrants attempting to cross the English Channel.

Last month he described the response as “heartless and completely without empathy”. Now it has been reported former England footballer Lineker is ready to offer a refugee a place to stay.

He has been in touch with charity Refugees at Home, according to the Mirror, and has no idea who he will be living with or where they will be from.

He will reportedly have to have an interview and a home visit from the charity before his application is approved.

Connection

Ex Everton and Spurs striker Lineker said he is “not at all” apprehensive, and told the newspaper: “I have had so much connection with refugees over the last couple of years.

“I have met scores of young ­refugees through football schemes and they are genuinely lovely kids and they appreciate any help they can get.

Last month Lineker, father to four sons, hinted he was willing to house a refugee after sharing a screenshot from an email from Refugees at Home.

It came after Tory MP Lee Anderson accused Lineker of “virtue signalling” and suggested he should house “the next boat of illegal immigrants”.

Since you are here

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
