Gary Lineker has revealed how long he has left on his Match of the Day contract.

The former England striker has presented the BBC show, which still gets four million viewers, since 1999.

Jermaine Jenas jokingly told Lineker that he was not coming for his job 'for now' in a recent episode, though he does want the role in future.

And now Lineker has revealed how long he has left in a wide-ranging interview with GQ.

The ex-Leicester and Barcelona man spoke about the BBC impartiality row after his tweet regarding the government's rhetoric towards migrants as well as the place of politics in sport.
