Reinstated Match of the Day host Gary Lineker is advising MPs to vote to stop animal parts bagged by hunters reaching the UK.
The 62-year-old BBC star has actually signed a letter from stars backing the Mirror’s campaign to forbid the repellent sport, and restriction ill “trophies” from being imported.
Others signatories consist of Dame Joanna Lumley, Sir Ranulph Fiennes, Sir Michael Parkinson and Frank Bruno.
There are worries the important vote might not end up being law as lots of MPs will be missing.
The letter checks out: “On Friday, MPs will discuss a costs to stop British prize hunters bringing home the heads and bodies of their victims. However, the Commons might be inquorate, as a lot of MPs will remain in their constituencies.
“The bill echoes manifesto commitments of both the Conservatives and Labour, is backed by all other parties, and enjoys overwhelming support from voters. Yet barely half the MPs needed for a vote to be valid say they will attend.”

This is not the very first time Lineker has actually condemned prize hunting.
After the other half of United States National Rifle Association chief Wayne LaPierre killed an elephant, cut off its tail and held the prize in the air in a video, he tweeted: “How could you do this? Truly abhorrent.”
And when the Mirror reported Boris Johnson had actually abandoned his promise to prohibit prize imports, Lineker made more than 12,000 likes with the one-word tweet: “What??”
Readers and campaigners were likewise shocked when, in 2020, we informed how British prize hunter Paul Roberts boasted that his savage pastime resembles “mainlining on heroin”.
