Gary Lineker’s life took a new turn after leaving the BBC earlier this year amidst controversy over a social media post. Once the face of football coverage, Lineker has shifted into exciting ventures beyond traditional broadcasting.
Post-BBC life sees Lineker shining in the podcasting world as co-founder of Goalhanger Podcasts. His hit shows, including “The Rest Is Football,” feature pals like Alan Shearer and Micah Richards. They recently partnered with DAZN to bring viewers match highlights, elevating the podcast experience.
But that’s not all! Lineker’s gearing up for a TV comeback with ITV’s “The Box” – a thrilling new celeb challenge programme combining the vibes of “I’m a Celebrity” and “SAS: Who Dares Wins.” With filming set to begin, Lineker’s back in his element, and football-themed episodes may join the mix!
While his professional life thrives, Lineker’s also winning awards, pinching the Best TV Presenter gong at the National Television Awards, ending Ant and Dec’s 23-year streak. Despite stepping away from the spotlight of live broadcasts, he’s more vocal than ever, speaking his mind on social and political concerns and still very much a public figure.
On the personal front, the 64-year-old football legend is all about living the single life. Lineker has candidly shared he’s embraced being alone and finds contentment in friendships, family, and culinary delights. Dating? Just not on his radar anymore. In his words, he’s happy flying solo, enjoying the freedom that comes with it.
As Lineker reinvents his career, he proves you can leave one chapter behind and embark on an exhilarating new adventure, all while staying true to yourself! ✨
