Since then, a host of his colleagues including s Alan Shearer and Ian Wright revealed they were refusing to star on the sporting show.
This prompted similar reactions from the BBC Football Focus team, which is today being scrapped – and replaced with fan-favourite series Bargain Hunt.
The former England star’s home life came under the spotlight back in 2020 when he invited a refugee to live in one of the five bedrooms of his mansion.
Yet his Instagram page gives a glimpse into the cozy pad, adorned with trendy touches.

One image sees Gary preparing for a Zoom call while perched on a turquoise-coloured sofa, accentuated with mustard-shade cushions.
Behind him a piece of modern art sits on the wall, featuring speckles of gold, grey and blue and positioned next to a gold lamp.
In another room adorned with football shirts on the wall, Gary’s rescue dog Filbert – who he welcomed into the fold last year – can be seen fast asleep on a red sofa.
Meanwhile, in a separate living space, a similar piece of brush-stroke art painted on canvas fills the wall.

It sits above a chic white marble cabinet, with coffee table books seen perched on the side.
Another space – which the pundit appears to use for family gathering – has a classic touch with exposed wooden floorboards.
There’s a red and white rug thrown over the floor while a huge glass light fitting adds a modern edge.
The walls are painted a fresh green which allows the room to flow easily through the patio door to the garden outside.
Gary is often seen celebrating his son’s birthday’s in the space, as well as playing host to his pals in his garden, which boasts a wooden dining table.
Meanwhile, Gary, who has fronted MOTD since 1999, has been suspended from his presenting duties after previously saying he would face no disciplinary action.
A BBC statement said: “The BBC has been in extensive discussions with Gary and his team in recent days. We have said that we consider his recent social media activity to be a breach of our guidelines.
“The BBC has decided that he will step back from presenting Match of the Day until we’ve got an agreed and clear position on his use of social media.
“When it comes to leading our football and sports coverage, Gary is second to none.
“We have never said that Gary should be an opinion free zone, or that he can’t have a view on issues that matter to him, but we have said that he should keep well away from taking sides on party political issues or political controversies.”
A spokesperson added that the Beeb considered Gary’s “recent social media activity to be a breach of our guidelines” and that he should “keep well away from taking sides on party political issues or political controversies”.
The row ignited after Gary tweeted in reference to the Government’s new immigration bill, saying: “Good heavens, this is beyond awful.”

Responding to another user who described him as “out of order”, he added: “We take far fewer refugees than other major European countries.
“This is just an immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language that is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the ’30s, and I’m out of order?”

SIR ALEX FERGUSON was known for being very particular with his managerial approach, even when it came to matters off-pitch. In the early 2000s, Daniel Nardiello was coming through the ranks at Manchester United and soon wanted to get himself on the property ladder.

However, Ferguson’s iron fist at Old Trafford meant Nardiello would first need to obtain permission.
And when he asked the boss whether he could buy a house, Ferguson denied his request until he had taken some cooking lessons.
Speaking to the Daily Star, Nardiello explained: “I had my first three years at United, I’d done quite well in the youth teams and reserve level and Sir Alex offered me a three-year contract, which I was obviously going to take.
“But with the new contract and my time at the digs coming to an end, I wanted to buy my own property, my own house to live in.

“But youth players need to have permission, so I had to knock on the door to ask if I can buy my own property.
“He was like ‘No, I’m not letting you buy your own property unless you’ve had three months of cooking lessons with the chef at Carrington’.
“So for three months, a couple of times a week, I was out cooking all the food for the first team players. I was in a bit earlier than I would normally be to help the chef.
“Once the three months were up, I knocked on the gaffer’s door again and he allowed me to pursue buying a home and moving in to my own house.

“But it goes to show the level of detail he went into.”
Nardiello would only go on to make four appearances for the Red Devils, one of which came in the Champions League, before leaving the club permanently in 2004.
The now-retired 40-year-old added: “He wanted to make sure the club was run properly from top to bottom, wanted to look after his players, making sure they had the best start.
“I’m not a good cook now though. My wife doesn’t want my cooking, it’s once in a blue moon I cook, but it did give me a good grounding.” More
FORMER Rangers star Peter Lovenkrands is looking to score in the property market after putting his £1.3m mansion up for sale.The one-time Ibrox striker, 43, has put the luxury home in Thorntonhall, Lanarkshire, on the market in the hope of finding a wealthy buyer.

The property, described as an Aladdin’s cave, is protected by security gates and features a cinema, gym and spa while a grand piano takes centre stage in the drawing room.
It also comes with landscaped gardens, a triple garage, five bedrooms and four bathrooms.
Photos from inside the property reveal a number of football strips including from Rangers and Manchester Utd while a statue of a basketball player can be seen in the bar area.
Lovenkrands previously put the three-storey pad up for sale at offers over £1.2million in 2013 while playing for Birmingham City.
However he later removed it when he moved back to Scotland after retiring from the game.
But the Danish footballer is now looking to bag a home win by selling the property with a starting price of £1.3m.
Cameron Ewer, property agent at Savills, said: “It is like Aladdin’s cave.
“Deceptively large and full of hidden qualities. It really is a house that has to be seen to be understood.”

“This property benefits from a new boiler and energy-efficient heating system, double glazing, electric security gates, monitored alarm and a CCTV system.
“The innovative and striking exterior is mirrored inside by bold lines and an incredible sense of space along with multiple windows bringing superb levels of natural light into the house.”
In 2016, Lovenkrands won a fight to stop a house being built next door after arguing it would ruin his privacy and spoil his views.
Lovenkrands played for Rangers for six years before leaving in 2006 having scored 37 goals in 129 appearances for the Ibrox side.
He has also had spells at Schalke and Newcastle before retiring in 2014.
The former internationalist managed Danish side Fremad Amager before leaving last year.

A FORMER Premier League striker told how he gave up football to run a B&B in York.Sunderland legend Marco Gabbiadini, 55, embarked on the unlikely second chapter after giving up football at the age of 35.

His Bishops guest house, which he opened in 2003, is now recognised as one of the best B&Bs in York.
Marco told the Sun: “You have to have a plan for when you retire. And we had four kids who were under 11 at the time.
“I did my coaching badges, but being a manager wasn’t what I envisaged doing for the rest of my life.
“My wife and I are both from York. A lot of footballers have that dilemma where their missus is from Liverpool or Southampton, so where do you end up?

“And both are families came from the hotel and guest house business, so I suppose when you roll all those things together it wasn’t a bad choice. After all, it’s York’s biggest industry.
“So we bought an ongoing business, because it would’ve been difficult to start something like this from scratch.”
Most read in The Sun
A hands-on owner, Marco admitted that running the guest house is a hard job.
Sometimes he has to roll up his sleeves and do some manual labour around the building.
Marco said: “It’s just like running a big family. The hardest thing is you’ve got to be flexible.
“We get up really early in the morning and you can still be waiting for people to check in at 11pm at night.
“You always have to have your shoes on, you always have to smart. We do have staff, but we live on site.
“And you have to always be prepared for anything. You can come into a room one day and someone’s had an accident and spilled coffee on the mattress.
“Then, you have to quickly go to a shop, find a replacement mattress because the next person’s checking in that afternoon.
“I cook breakfast some days and I’ll do some of the handyman stuff, like bleeding radiators or fixing toilets.
“I can do most things – plumbing, painting and decorating, but we will also get the professionals in too.
“We’ve had family that have grown up in it, and now they’re older they can run it when we go away.”
Marco added that he and his wife Deborah are brutally honest with each other during the working day.
He said: “For us it is great, we’re both people who like to get things off our chests.
“I was a bit like that in the dressing room too. It’s better not to keep grudges, tell someone what you think.
“So, if I make a mistake or error, she’ll tell me and vice versa.”
The guest house itself has 11 big letting rooms, blending a mix of modern and classic in their decor.
Marco said: “The scale of the house allows us to have spacious rooms, our bigger rooms are 22 feet square.
“They’ve all got sofas in them, so we’re going more high-end.
“When there’s race meets, and during the summer, our bigger rooms can be from £140-£170 a night at the weekend.
“But midweek, we are flexible, and it’s always best to book with us directly because we can do a better deal.”
TripAdvisor can make-or-break any business, and with the bed and breakfast industry being so competitive in York, Gabbiadini keeps an eye on what’s said about Bishops online.
Marco said: “It’s bit like a footballer saying they don’t read the sports pages in the paper.
“When you’re a guest house owner, you DO read the TripAdvisor reviews!
“But it’s Deborah’s job to reply to everyone, she’s the diplomat in the house.”
It’s better not to keep grudges, tell someone what you thinkMarco Gabbiadini
However, the reviews are mostly positive and it’s earned the couple a string of awards in the process.
Marco said: “We’ve entered the York Tourism Awards ‘Guest House of the Year’ competition four times and won it three, which is pretty good going.
“You always going to get people that are going to be unhappy. But if you’ve got 600 or 700 reviews saying you’re doing the right thing, then that’s good too.
“It a British guest house is such a traditional thing. I think a really comfortable bed and good breakfast is the key to being successful.
“It’s that simple really, but it’s what’s the most important.”
As a player, Gabbiadini didn’t win too many awards himself.
But one Third Division title with The Black Cats made him a hero at Roker Park.
And on the top floor, a painting of their former forward sits above a cabinet of a handful of golden boots from the lower divisions.
He told the Sun: “The painting was a gift from Bob Murray, the former chairman at Sunderland.
“When I left the club he gave that to me, it was a drawing of a couple of pictures of me, and it’s lovely to be appreciated.
“I didn’t win too many awards, but I think I won Player of the Season for my clubs six times and made over 700 appearances.

LEWIS Hamilton has won the right to trim two trees in his £18million townhouse’s garden. Hamilton, 38, had been feuding with his neighbours over changes to his London property – including “pruning” the massive poplar trees.

Neighbours had argued the “magnificent heritage trees” should be preserved.
But, after submitting 20 planning applications over six years, the seven-time Formula One world champion has come out on top.
MailOnline reported Hamilton had been seeking permission to tidy up his £18m Kensington property since he bought it in 2017.
On top of “pruning” the giant trees in his garden, the racing legend also wanted to install metal gate entrances, and demolish and replace an old summerhouse.

Hamilton and the neighbours clashed over the summerhouse plans as residents feared their “working and living conditions [would be] seriously disturbed”.
But they were also feuding over the “pruning” of the two trees that tower over the motorsport star’s garden.
MailOnline reported the neighbours were outraged by the perceived threat to the trees.
One local even dubbed them “magnificent ‘heritage’ trees” that are “easily identifiable upon approach to Heathrow”.
Most read in Motorsport
But the council has now given Hamilton the green light to prune the trees – on two conditions.
The council said “noisy operations” are avoided on Saturdays “unless essential”, and “no works should take place on Sundays”.
This isn’t the first time Hamilton has been caught in a row with his neighbours.
In 2020 his summerhouse plans sparked letters of objection from neighbours.
One claimed at the time: “It certainly does not need another house at the rear of its garden, which, if the owner ever does move in, will no doubt be used as a ‘party house’ away from the main residence, due to the nature of his lifestyle.” More
THE world’s best boxers earn millions.From Floyd Mayweather, who claimed his net worth exceeded £1billion, to Tyson Fury – recipient of £20million from his last fight against Derek Chisora – those at the top generally coin it in.

And that means they sometimes have more money than sense, when it comes to spending their dosh.
These legendary figures from the sport ploughed the cash into their homes, filling their amazing mansions with some items that could split opinion.
SunSport takes a tongue-in-cheek look at the worst offenders – starting with the Gypsy King.

Back in 2020, he upgraded from a £550,000 abode to a stunning £1.7million home in Morecambe with wife Paris.
Of course, they couldn’t wait to show off some of the interiors on Instagram.

Mike Tyson
Recent reports suggested ‘Iron Mike’ earned around £300million in his heyday, although by the late 1990s he was forced to sell off some of the amazing properties he bought on the way up.
One of them was an amazing five bedroom mansion in Ohio, which had cages to keep his tigers in.
Better still, just so you know who lived there, he rather amusingly had his name etched on the front gates.
Similarly, and like something out of a Rocky film, Tyson had a thing for huge statues yards from his front door.
A 52-room mansion, which he later sold to rapper 50 Cent for £3.3million in 2003, boasted a lion statue decorating its entrance.
Roar, indeed.

Ricky Hatton
Forever one of the joker’s in the pack, Mancunian favourite Hatton is as whacky as they come.
Last year, he gave viewers a glimpse into his mansion in a BBC Comic Relief special called ‘This is MY House’.
Diamante door handles were the pick of the most outrageous things in the home.
In fact, he really does have a thing for diamantes – with a crocodile and panther covered in stones.
However, the clincher for us was his dining room.
Clad in gold, Scarface’s Tony Montana wouldn’t have looked out of place sitting at the head of the table.
While in his cinema room, he has a picture of the cast of Sex and the City, which Hatton said he watched before a world title fight.

Floyd Mayweather
Mayweather is the man that has everything. He wants everything too.
His car collection is insane, while his portfolio of mansions in Los Angeles, Miami and Las Vegas is even crazier.
But, unsurprisingly, what Mayweather loves most is himself.
Why else would he have artwork adorning his walls – showing off his chiselled chest in a huge canvas.
That sits next to a picture of foe Conor McGregor, who gave him his greatest pay day ever when they fought in an exhibition fight.
Mayweather is also a man who must make regular trips to the dentist.
In one of his palaces, he has a fold away sweet shop with jars full of treats.
Forget 50 Cent, it’s Mayweather who will ‘take you to the candy shop’.

Deontay Wilder
The Bronze Bomber is a hero in Alabama, where they have erected a huge statue in his honour.
Thankfully, he decided against having one in his £1.2million mansion on the picturesque Lake Tuscaloosa.
However, protective Wilder does have a panic room on the premises.
While we’re not slamming that, of course all sports stars need to protect themselves.
But, when the panic room door is styled like a door from Fort Know, then things start to look a little silly.

Evander Holyfield
Holyfield used to own an enormous 54,000 square-foot mansion on 235 acres, which is still the largest single family home in the state of Georgia.
The 109-room home is as lavish as it gets, but it wasn’t entirely perfect.
After all, it’s huge banquet hall – with gold interior – was a bit much.
And the bowling alley a bit daft. Surely, there’s bowling alleys nearby?
But, the most bonkers addition was the fact it had a baseball pitch within its grounds – complete with floodlights and a scoreboard.

He would have needed a special licence from Natural England before the work could be done because it is an offence to intentionally or recklessly disturb them.
Fury would also have had to put bat boxes in nearby trees for the common and soprano pipistrelles.
Instead, he and wife Paris, 33, have applied for planning permission to extend the eight-bed pad they aimed to pull down with a basement music room and games room.
They also want to add a breakfast room, garden room and cinema to the home in the Cheshire village.

A garage and leisure suite, with a hot tub and plunge pool are also proposed.
In a design statement, Fury’s planning agent said the leisure facilities were “incidental to the enjoyment of the dwelling house”.
Fury and Paris currently live with their six children in a £1.7million home in Morecambe, Lancs.
His move will take him closer to boxer brother Tommy and Love Island girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague, both 23, who have a £3.5million mansion nearby.

Planners at Cheshire East council are set to decide on the application in April. So far, no-one has objected.
