The Match of the Day host and vocal Remainer backed the 11 MPs who resigned and formed a breakaway Independent Group amid an ongoing crisis within their parties.
Reacting to the growth of the new centrist group, Lineker said: 'No idea where this will lead, but for many that are politically homeless this could conceivably be a place of shelter from the increasingly extremist political duopoly.'

Professor Brian Cox, the noted physicist, also seemingly back the Independent Group in a message shared on social media.
He said: 'We are seeing the long overdue shattering and reshaping of UK politics. Both major parties have failed the country absolutely when we needed them most.
'They have no answer to the crisis Cameron created having exposed the rest of us to the Tory civil war. They are beneath contempt.'

In an immediate response to the trip of resignations today, Prime Minister Theresa May said she was 'saddened' by the decision and thanked the MPs for their 'dedicated service to our party over many years'.
The PM vowed the Tories would 'always offer the decent, moderate and patriotic politics' Britain deserved. She said delivering Brexit was 'never going to be easy' but insisted she was 'doing the right thing for our country'.
The move puts rocket boosters under the new political movement that was launched by a 'gang of seven' ex-Labour MPs on Monday. It is the biggest split in British politics since 1981 and could set in motion a total realignment of the party system.
Other MPs could quickly follow now the Independent Group is cross-party.
