Gary Lineker apologises after being seen without a facemask while browsing the dessert section of an M&S food hall – after berating the public for similar lapses during the pandemic

Gary Lineker has blamed his 'old age' for forgetting to wear a face mask after photos emerged of him shopping barefaced in M&S. The 59-year-old Match Of The Day presenter was photographed by a member of the public in the dessert aisle of M&S in Barnes, south-west London, on Sunday. Despite previously criticising 'snowflakes' who refused to wear a mask Lineker failed to cover his mouth and nose with no mask in sight as he wandered the shop.  Lineker took to Twitter to apologise for the blunder, writing: 'In my old age, I went into a store and forgot to put my mask on.

John Leslie collapses and cries as he is found NOT GUILTY of groping woman's breasts at Christmas party in 2008 by jury after 23 minutes of deliberations

John Leslie collapsed and cried today after he was found not guilty of groping a woman at a Christmas party 12 years ago. The former Blue Peter presenter, 55, was accused of grabbing a woman's breasts at the Soho Revue Bar, in Greek Street in London's West End but said the incident never happened. The woman said she came forward after being 'inspired' by the MeToo movement, but Leslie was cleared of sexual assault by a jury of nine men and three women after just 23 minutes deliberation. He had been defended by former Blue Peter colleagues including Anthea Turner and Diane-Louise Jordan. Turner today posted a photo of her and Jordan with Leslie after they gave testimony at his trial, with a caption reading 'not guilty!'  It is the second time he has successfully contested sexual assault charges at Southwark Crown Court. However, the case will do little to rehabilitate his battered reputation, with his own lawyer branding him an 'embarrassment'.  Leslie
