One by one he looks at the young women wearing orange swimsuits and shoves them into the pool by pushing his hand on their chest at his club O Beach in Ibiza, which is often host to famous faces and reality stars.
Eventually he picks former Love Island contestant Katie Salmon to ‘take on a date’ and they walk off arm in arm as she says: ‘Obviously I’m the champion.’
People took to Twitter to express their outrage at the video, including pro-boxer Stacey Copeland.
The Commonwealth champion said: ‘Watching this video Wayne Lineker posted of himself choosing which ‘dream doll’ he’d be taking on a date, what does it make you think or feel?

Pro-boxer Stacey Copeland said the video made he think she is glad to speak up on gender equality and branded Wayne’s Facebook page as ‘absolutely gross’
‘It makes me think that I’m glad I speak up on gender equality for both genders, because we can all do better than this. Your thoughts?’
Stacey went on to comment that Wayne Lineker’s Facebook page is ‘absolutely gross’.
Another Twitter user replied to Stacey: ‘I hate the thought of people watching that and thinking of it as aspirational.’
Twitter users shared their disgust at the video of club owner Wayne pushes the women in the pool
In response to the video others said it ‘made their skin crawl’ and some drew comparisons between Wayne and the founder of Playboy magazine Hugh Hefner.
One wrote: ‘Imagine if Hugh Hefner were cloned using scraps of meat from a cheap butchers shop in a covered market. Imagine he was raised in a tanning machine and fed entirely on Wetherspoons breakfasts and Creatine. Congratulations, you have imagined Wayne Lineker.’
Another said: ‘Some people would say Wayne Lineker is living the dream. I think he comes across as a slimy creep. YUK!’
The women in the video are part of the Dreamdolls group which tour around Ibiza dancing and performing for crowds on the white isle.

Wayne Lineker and Katie Salmon are business partners for the group of six whose talents include ballet dancing, twerking, aerial hoop and contortion.
Katie was quick to jump to Wayne’s defence, commenting: ‘You all need to chill out. Wayne is my business partner we’re just having banter videos done! We are all independent nice women. Half of my girls are taken. Wayne has banter. Don’t look to deep into social media you fools.’
Commenting on Wayne’s original Instagram post, Geordie Shore star Scotty T said: ‘Rest for me then….’
Earlier this year the O Beach owner was sued for £8.5million after former Premier League footballer Jonathan ‘Joey’ Hutchinson was paralysed after diving into the club’s pool.

The former Birmingham City defender was discovered by other guest ‘floating in the pool’ at the resort which was called Ocean Beach Club at the time of the incident in June 2016.
The Middlesbrough-born 37-year-old is now tetraplegic – afflicted by ‘impaired ability to move his shoulders, elbows, wrists and otherwise total paralysis of his body’.
He claimed the incident could have been avoided had there been easily visible signs warning that diving was banned.
Club owner to the stars: Who is Wayne Lineker?
Entrepreneur Wayne Lineker, from Leicester, is the younger brother of former British footballer Gary Lineker.
The 58-year-old, who now lives in Essex in the winter, owns several bars, clubs and restaurants across Europe, including Linekers Bar in Marbella, Spain, and O Beach in Ibiza, which are often visited by celebrities and reality stars.
Father-of-four Wayne has had several girlfriends and has been married once before.
Nightclub owner Wayne Lineker, 58, was once regarded as a better footballing prospect than his brother Gary
He had all his children with his first wife, including three daughters Duane, Tia and Sean and a son called Freddie.
The business owner and grandfather has reportedly been single since he split from his ex-fiance Danielle Sandhu, 27, in 2018 after meeting at his club.
At the age of 14 he left school and worked with his father, a greengrocer, selling fruit and vegetables.
Growing up he and Gary would play football together but Wayne never pursued it as a professional career despite being once regarded as a better footballing prospect.
Wayne and his brother are said to be estranged and reports in 2015 suggested their rift began in 2008 when Gary took his bride-to-be Danielle Bux to meet Wayne.
Following an uncomfortable first meeting Wayne’s then girlfriend Ana Tanaka was not invited to the couple’s wedding on the Amalfi coast despite being together for 18 months. As a result, he declined the invitation.
In 2006, Wayne was handed a two-and-a-half year prison sentence after he was convicted for a £220,000 tax fraud.
