"Gary Lineker has responded to Twitter abuse sent to his son George, claiming that he felt &amp;quot;physically sick&amp;quot; after reading comments made about the latter&amp;#039;s battle with leukaemia. Lineker&amp;#039;s son, who is now aged 20, successfully beat a rare form of the illness when a baby.   Writing on Twitter yesterday (August 1), the BBC Olympics presenter and ex-England footballer said: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m about to [re-tweet] three tweets that were sent to my son that make me feel physically sick. Culprit has deleted his account.&amp;quot; The messages included the comments &amp;quot;heard ya Leukaemia , pity ya didn&amp;#039;t die&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;cheers for the retweet cancer boy ! You f*****g gent&amp;quot;. Another tweet read: &amp;quot;Haha your dad&amp;#039;s a washed up piece of s**t Leukaemia boy.&amp;quot; Lineker claimed that the offending messages came from a &amp;quot;tiny mindless minority&amp;quot; and told his followers that his son has not let it bother him. George wrote on Twitter: &amp;quot;Don&amp;#039;t waste your time having a dig at someone who it doesn&amp;#039;t bother in the slightest, if it bothered me I&amp;#039;d have come off Twitter a year ago.&amp;quot; This is the latest case of a celebrity highlighting Twitter abuse, following cases involving Olympic diver Tom Daley and BBC presenter Helen Skelton.
