Gary Lineker roasted by Mike Graham in Martine Croxall BBC bias row

Martine Croxall has returned to presenting BBC News after 12 days off-air following claims she had showed bias when Boris Johnson pulled out of the Conservative leadership contest.

The 53-year-old broadcaster was taken off TV following an episode of The Papers on October 23 where she made “several remarks and reactions” which caused a “significant risk” that the audience could believe “opinions were being expressed”, the BBC said.

On Thursday, the corporation ruled the programme had failed to meet its impartiality standards after reviewing viewer complaints.

Returning to presenting BBC News on Friday, Croxall failed to acknowledge her absence, opening the programme saying: “This is BBC news, I’m Martine Croxall, the headlines at 11am.”

BBC pundit Gary Lineker responded to a tweet of the BBC's decision with a rolling eyes emoji.

Mike Graham criticised the host and called for the BBC to be defunded.

"Are we supposed to just keep putting up with this nonsense or should we just defund the BBC?"
