Clive Myrie has acknowledged that he did not disclose up to £250,000 in outside events he participated in outside of his BBC work.
Despite earning a substantial amount for speaking and hosting engagements, the BBC News anchor failed to record these activities on the company’s external events register.
Myrie made 28 retroactive additions to the registry when a journalist informed the BBC of the shortcomings. He charged up to £10,000 for the majority of them, and five times he received more than that.
The Football Association, the National Residential Landlords Association, and American Express were among the clients.
“Very sorry.”
The presenter posted on X, previously Twitter, blaming the absences on “administrative issues”: I apologize; due to a number of administrative problems.
I was unable to complete the necessary paperwork for several of my exterior public events, which is why they haven’t been publicized yet.
