BBC's Clive Myrie Admits to Undeclared Earnings from External Events

The veteran broadcaster apologizes for administrative oversights after failing to disclose significant income from paid engagements outside his BBC role.

Clive Myrie, a prominent BBC presenter, failed to declare earnings from at least 28 external events, reportedly totaling between £65,000 and £250,000.
The BBC's external events register, introduced in 2021, requires on-air talent to disclose paid engagements quarterly to ensure transparency and impartiality.
Myrie attributed the omissions to administrative errors and announced he would cease participating in paid external events, barring a few pre-existing commitments.
The BBC has taken 'robust management action' and plans to update its guidelines to limit the volume of external events staff can undertake.
This incident follows increased scrutiny on BBC presenters' external earnings as part of broader efforts to maintain public trust in the organization.
