Gary Lineker is caught up in a race row over his latest Walkers crisps advert.

The football pundit, 60, prompted fury after it was spotted that he is the only white man in the new ad plugging the firm’s KFC crisps.

Angry viewers have accused the commercial of spreading a racist stereotype that black people love fried chicken.

The promo shows the star tucking into the snack before the camera swoops through streets.
