Piers Morgan is gearing up to challenge Gary Lineker by launching his podcast, 'World Cup Uncensored,' set to debut on June 8. This move comes as Lineker's Goalhanger company has secured a lucrative £14 million deal with Netflix for their show 'The Rest is Football,' which will be filmed in the United States during the World Cup. Morgan's podcast promises 'fearless debates' and will feature notable guests like John Terry and Simon Jordan. In a cheeky social media post, Morgan claimed that 'The rest is boring,' a remark that reportedly did not sit well with Lineker's team. Lineker, who left the BBC in May 2025, expressed enthusiasm about his new role and the freedom it brings, while also questioning the BBC's decision to broadcast the tournament mainly from Salford instead of New York. He noted that while he misses some aspects of his time at the BBC, he is excited about the new opportunities that lie ahead.
