Lineker had earlier spoken out in support of a grassroots movement called Stop Funding Hate, which is calling on advertisers to pull their campaigns from popular UK newspapers, particularly The Sun and the Daily Mail.

A Walkers spokesman said: "We have a very successful partnership with Gary Lineker and we will continue to do so. Our advertising approach is not determined by the editorial stances of individual newspapers."
