 Not Upheld: Gary & Danielle Lineker v The Sun

This complaint was from Gary & Danielle Lineker against the Sun that they had harassed and breached privacy. The article was all around Gary Lineker leaving Twitter and the paper suspected it was due to other allegations made and wanted to follow it up. They made contact with Gary, his agent and family but it was not upheld as they did not break privacy and only contacted each individual once therefore it was not classed as harassment and was not upheld.
