BBC broadcaster Clive Myrie has apologised for failing to declare at least £145,000 for external work he undertook outside his role at the corporation. Figures suggest the 60-year-old newsreader earned at least £145,000, but it could have been more than £255,000, with the exact figure likely to be somewhere in between, according to retrospective entries to the BBC’s external events register. Apologising in a written statement on X, Myrie blamed the error on “several administrative issues” and said he will not be taking part in paid external events for the “foreseeable future”, except for some pre-existing commitments. “An apology – I’ve had several administrative issues, and I didn’t fill out the correct paperwork for some of my external public events, so they haven’t been published until now,” he said. “I’ve told the BBC I won’t be taking part in any more paid external events in the foreseeable future, beyond a handful of pre-existing commitments, so that this doesn’t happen again. “My sincere apologies.” X This content is provided by X, which may be using cookies …
