Apologising in a written statement, Myrie blamed the error on 'several administrative issues' and said he will not be taking part in paid external events for the 'foreseeable future'.

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.

He received more than £10,000 on five occasions, including an event hosted by the Isle of Man's Energy and Sustainability Centre. On a further 18 occasions, he was paid between £5,000 and £10,000, while he charged between £1,000 and £5,000 for five events. He was also paid by organisations including the Football Association, American Express and the National Residential Landlords Association.
