Gary Lineker looks in good spirits as he joins Mary Berry and her daughter Annabel at day five of Wimbledon after reigniting his war with the BBC

Gary Lineker looked in good spirits as he attended day five of Wimbledon at The All England Lawn Tennis Club on Friday, days after issuing another shot at the BBC. 

The broadcaster, 64, beamed broadly as he was seen wandering the grounds ahead of the third round action begin in the men and women’s singles. 

Friday’s tennis action will see the UK represented in both events, with Cameron Norrie and Sonay Kartal representing the nation as the weather cools ahead of next week’s finals. 

Gary, who looked dapper in a navy suit and shades, wasn’t the only celebrity in attendance, with Mary Berry attending the event alongside her daughter Annabel. 

Dame Mary, 90, and Annabel, 55, were sartorially in sync for the day out, both sporting stylish floral dresses in complementary shades of blue. 

Fellow British culinary hero Marcus Wareing was also seen at the tennis with his wife Jane – who opted for a cream floral frock.

In the men’s singles, France’s Mattia Bellucci will take on the UK’s Cameron Norrie as Nicolás Jarry of Chile battles it out with Brazil’s Joao Fonseca. 

Germany’s Laura Siegemund is set to take on the US’s Madison Keys while France’s  Diane Parry will compete against the UK’s Sonay Kartal. 

Gary’s outing came after he launched another attack on the BBC during an appearance on stage at Glastonbury – before calling out: ‘Free Palestine.’

The former England football captain, who signed off as Match Of The Day presenter after three decades last month, accused corporation chiefs of having ‘lost their way’. 

Gary, quit his role as the BBC’s best paid presenter a year ahead of schedule following his controversial sharing of an online post condemned as anti-Semitic. 

He has now suggested that people ‘at the very top of the BBC’ had ‘an agenda’, as he took part in a Q&A session at the music festival staged in Somerset this weekend. 

He was speaking during an on-stage conversation with Groove Armada DJ and farming advocate Andy Cato at the Glastonbury event on Saturday afternoon.

Ex-England, Tottenham Hotspur and Barcelona striker Gary, when asked about the BBC for whom he worked for 30 years, said: ‘I think they have lost their way a little bit.

‘There are thousands of brilliant people at the BBC but at the moment I don’t think that’s reflected right at the very top.’

He also told of some sympathy, however, for the corporation’s highest-profile official, saying: ‘I feel for Tim Davie, the director-general, because I believe there are people above him that have an agenda.’

Gary was questioned in the Glastonbury session about his increasingly outspoken views on politics, which have attracted criticism and questions about BBC impartiality.

The broadcaster, who co-runs lucrative podcast brand Goalhanger, said: ‘I did have a very big platform and thought, what’s the point if you don’t use it – if you don’t push beliefs that you believe to be right?

‘I don’t really use Twitter any more because it’s become a hateful place, which is a shame really because I used to enjoy it, but I will keep posting on Instagram, so more of the same.’

Gary finished the Q&A encounter by saying he ‘wanted to see Kneecap’, the Irish rappers whose appearance at Glastonbury has attracted controversy – including calls from Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer for the BBC not to show their performance.

The ex-footballer noted, however, that his own Glastonbury appearance on-stage clashed with their scheduled gig elsewhere on the site.

Before departing, Lineker told his audience: ‘Free Palestine.’

Gary faced a backlash last month after sharing on Instagram to his 1.2million followers a video from the group Palestine Lobby, featuring an emoji of a rat – a symbol that has been used in Nazi propaganda as an anti-Jewish smear.

He later issued an ‘unreserved apology’, saying: ‘I would never knowingly share anything antisemitic. It goes against everything I believe in.

‘The post was removed as soon as I became aware of the issue.

‘Whilst I strongly believe in the importance of speaking out on humanitarian issues, including the tragedy unfolding in Gaza, I also know that how we do so matters.

‘I take full responsibility for this mistake. ‘That image does not reflect my views. It was an error on my part for which I apologise unreservedly.’
