The BBC Chairman has ordered an internal inquiry into potential conflicts of interests amid claims he helped Boris Johnson to secure a loan of up to £800,000.
Millionaire Sam Blyth, a relative of Mr Johnson, allegedly stepped in to act as a guarantor for up to £800,000 of credit to fund the ex-PM’s lavish lifestyle when he found himself in financial trouble in 2020, according to the Sunday Times.
Richard Sharp, a former Tory donor who was appointed as chair while Mr Johnson as in No10, became embroiled in the row when he admitted to introducing the ex-PM's distant Canadian cousin to Cabinet Secretary Simon Case.
