Gary Lineker’s introduction to Match of the Day on Saturday evening did not go down well with some viewers, as he made a joke about the baldness of his punditry team - Alan Shearer and Danny Murphy.

Lineker is now claiming that the BBC has received complaints over the jibes towards his panelists’ baldness, and are now obliged to investigate.

Is it ok to poke fun at people's baldness?

Brendan Kelly is a professor of psychiatry at TCD, and told Ivan why he's not offended by people making fun of his baldness, but will speak up for people's right to be offended by whatever they like.
