Final Score presenter Jason Mohammad has become the latest to pull out of programmes on the BBC today as the row involving the broadcaster and Gary Lineker grows.
The programme is not going ahead this afternoon, Sky Sports News understands.
It comes after the midday Football Focus programme was also scrapped after Alex Scott and other pundits pulled out.
Former England player Scott tweeted: “I made a decision last night that even though I love doing football focus and we have had an incredible week winning an SJA award that it just doesn’t feel right going ahead with the show today. Hopefully I will be back in the chair next week…”

“As you know, Final Score is a TV show very close to my heart,” he tweeted.
“However – I have this morning informed the BBC that I will not be presenting the show this afternoon on BBC One.”
Kelly Somers also said she would not be hosting Football Focus, tweeting: “Just to confirm I won’t be on BBC television today.”
Match of the Day will go ahead tonight however – but without a presenter, pundits or BBC commentators after Lineker was removed from the programme over his tweets on the government’s new migrants policy.
The BBC said there would be no “studio presentation or punditry” and that the show would instead focus on “match action”.
Earlier, a former director-general of the corporation said the BBC had “undermined its own credibility” by taking Lineker off air.
Greg Dyke, also a former chairman of the FA, told BBC Radio 4’s Today that the broadcaster was “mistaken” in standing Lineker down.
The row started on Tuesday when Lineker tweeted his thoughts on the government’s policy to stem the flow of small boats crossing the Channel.
