Twitter absolutely erupted as the football pundit and presenter appeared on BBC1 wearing nothing but a pair of white Leicester City boxer shorts.

Be careful what you wish for Dermz... we may have to start a hashtag campaign.

As the night wore on (and Gary wore next to nothing), viewers enjoyed watching his fellow pundits play along as though nothing had changed on set.

There was also widespread admiration for Lineker's lean physique.
