Souness and Lineker Reunite on The Box | Entertainment and Celebrity News

Graeme Souness and Gary Lineker, once fierce rivals on the pitch and in public, reunite on ITV’s new gameshow The Box—with Souness joking he wanted to “smash” Lineker during filming, while Lineker cheekily recalled their past tackle. Despite their history, including Souness’s earlier criticism of Lineker’s social media posts and his BBC-era comments on political speech, both bring humor and chemistry to the set. Contestants praise Lineker’s supportive, upbeat energy, though his insider knowledge meant he was kept separate off-camera. The show’s high-stakes challenges culminate in elimination duels, blending nostalgia with fresh competition—all while Lineker navigates his post-BBC comeback after a controversial social media incident that led to his resignation.
