Match of the Day host Gary Lineker makes good on pants promise
BBC Football presenter Gary Lineker has reaped the punishment of his seemingly safe December 2015 bet,” If Leicester win the Premier League I'll do the first MOTD of next season in just my undies”.

Against all the odds, the Foxes took the top spot making Premier League history, no doubt bittering Lineker’s joy at his former club’s success.
As a result, he hosted the 16/17 season's Match of The Day debut (on Saturday 13 August) in his boxer shorts - a stunt that was teased by the BBC earlier in the week in addition to some social media efforts from Walkers, the crisps brand he’s represented for decades.
